The more “usually” answers you provided, the more likely it is that your peers, subordinates, and senior leaders view you as trustworthy and credible. The more “rarely” and “sometimes” answers you provided, the more likely it is that your peers, subordinates, and senior leaders do not trust you as much as they could. You may be very trustworthy and credible. However, there are still actions and steps you can take to further demonstrate your trustworthiness so that others view you as such.
