How to Build Trust as a Senior Leader in a Founder-Led Business

Being a senior leader in a founder-led business is unlike any other leadership role especially when trust hasn’t been earned yet. In this episode of Senior Leaders Club, Lauren Howlett breaks down what it really takes to build trust when you’re brought in to scale someone else’s vision.

We’ll explore:

• Why trust is the real job — not just the side effect of doing it well
• What makes founder-operator dynamics so complex
• Real-world scenarios that break (or build) trust
• Practical ways to build credibility fast

Whether you’re a CMO, COO, Head of People, or just stepped into the top seat, this episode gives you the mindset and tools to lead from the inside — without the title doing the talking.
