Teams 365 #50: Team Leader Behaviors that Build Trust

Our theme this week is trust in today's workplace, one of the essential teamwork skills we identified last month in the Teams365 post #10.

What are the team leader behaviors that boost trust? The following are a selection:

• Walk the Talk - Modelling What you Know
• Follow-up with what you have said
• Fairness
• Speak the Truth
• Transparency

• Take Responsibility and ownership of results (and mistakes)
  
• Self- Management: are aware of the impact of their emotions and are able to self-manage as appropriate
  
• Ethics
• Clear Expectations: works with the team to clarify and set expectations
  
• Leads by Values
• Creates Connection with and amongst team members by creating regular touchpoints with team members.
• Demonstrates a genuine personal interest in others
• Build on strengths
• Provides clear communication

As you move through the remainder of the week, notice which behaviors you are leading from. What impact are they having?

With best wishes,
Jennifer
