According to Anphabe Company's analysis, the "halo effect" is operating silently and sophisticatedly in every corner of the office. The "halo" of leaders can come from company brands, overwhelming confident demeanor, offices located in the city center... "halos" can create "dangerous" traps for those sitting in leadership positions if they believe that their authority is built from both "humorous" elements.
Ms. Thanh Nguyen - Director of Anphabe Company analyzed, if you remove all the "aura", where does the true prestige of a true leader come from? How to build a solid influence, regardless of all the fluctuations of the times and titles?
From that reality, Ms. Thanh Nguyen gave an assessment of the core foundation of leadership prestige – built from three foundational sources, completely independent of power or organizational structure:
Belief based on combat capability
This is trust that is filtered and verified over time, through sweat drops and difficult problems, not through an appointment decision. People respect and believe in you because they have witnessed you roll up your sleeves to solve real crises. They admire the way you keep your cool head to make sharp judgments in the midst of the storm, the way you constantly update knowledge to not be left behind. And most importantly of real ability, it is the courage to stand up and take responsibility: "I was wrong in this decision, and this is how we will fix it together".
You cannot force others to be loyal to you with orders. This trust comes from the fact that employees and partners sincerely feel that: you are really interested in their development and happiness, not just considering them as machines that create KPI or economic benefits for yourself. It is shown through tolerance when employees make mistakes, through unconditional support when they encounter adversity. This is a human value that cannot be faked for a long time and is also something that no title halo can automatically generate.
Belief based on absolute integrity
This is the highest level of prestige. It is consistency, unwavering between what you say and what you do. An integrity leader is someone who is willing to do the right things, protect core values even when no one supervises, even when it goes against their short-term interests. Integrity creates an absolute psychological safe zone for those who follow them.
In short, combat capability, empathy and integrity - when these three factors are meticulously polished and built from within by leaders, they will create an "autologous aura".
This reputation does not depend on whether you are sitting in the CEO seat or a freelancer and does not disappear when the company logo changes, nor collapse when the market is in crisis.
