Our sixth team leader trust builder is to ensure clear expectations and clear communication.
Clear, and shared expectations, set the foundation for success. What does "success" look like? What does quality work look like for the team? What time do people need to be at work? As small as the details may seem they are everything for success in a team, as we all bring different perspectives, and often, expectations.
As we get back to work in September what expectations need to be clarified, or revisited? Where has the team become lax? Where have you become lax as a leader?
Clear communication is also critical for building trust. As we've seen in other posts, each team member will appreciate communication in different ways. Some team members will appreciate the big picture, whereas others want clarity on the finer details. Some team members appreciate a phone call while others want a text.
What does clarity mean for you? Your team? Your own leader?
What is unclear to certain team members?
What needs shoring up?
