The Law of Solid Ground is all about trust-based leadership.

Building trust as a leader allows you some leeway to make mistakes, but the key is that the trust must always outweight bad decisions. No one is perfect, and every leader will lose a little credibility from time to time. However, if you've built yourself a solid foundation to stand on, your employees will stick with you when times get tough.
