Wait, there's a 'trust matrix'? I thought that was just called 'common sense.' Although, I suppose some leaders need a flowchart to figure out the whole 'caring and competent' thing.

B) Distrust? What kind of bizarro world is this exam living in? A leader who cares a lot and is competent? That's an A) Trust all day long, my friend.

Respect, huh? I mean, I respect a capable leader, but if they don't care about their team, that's a hard pass for me. A) Trust is the only way to go here.

Trust, definitely. That's the sweet spot on the matrix - high care and high competence. Although, I hope they don't mistake 'cares a lot' for 'smothers a lot'.

I agree, respect is important too. It shows that the leader is not only capable but also valued by the team.

I also believe the answer is Trust, as it makes sense that trust would be the term used for a leader who is both caring and competent.

I agree with Jutta, because if a leader is perceived to care a lot and is very capable, then the team would trust them.

Ah, the trust matrix! Clearly, a leader who cares a lot and is very capable would be considered trustworthy. I'm going with A) Trust on this one.
