Today's quote comes from Patrick Lencioni's Five Dysfunctions of a Team. As a team coach I share this quote with many of the teams I work with, as we start our work together. The ability for team members to trust each other completely, and feel safe in pointing out the downsides, mistakes and "warts" are all critical to building a high-performing team.
What's the level of trust in your team? What activities do you use to boost trust within the team? A few weeks ago I spoke to a group in downtown Toronto on building trust within your team. We talked about behaviors like transparency, follow-through, and ownership as key in creating a safe environment, conducive to healthy behaviors, not toxic behaviors like we spotlighted in our last team cartoon.
What activities will your team benefit from this coming week? What actions will you take to demonstrate and build trust?
With best wishes,
