Trust is the foundation of any high performing team. As leaders we play a key role in setting the bar for high trust environments. Today's team building tip gets you to stop and pause and think about the state of trust in your team at the moment.
What are the things that are building trust on your team?
Our actions create trust. Things like creating transparency, walking our talk, modelling open and honest communication. Taking responsibility for successes and mistakes. Modelling and inviting accountability.
What are the things that are destroying trust on your team?
Behaviors can quickly erode trust. Gossip, lack of follow-through, "dropping the ball" and lack of follow-through. What are the things that are destroying trust on your team?
An excellent read in this area is Stephen Covey's Speed of Trust. He goes into 13 behaviors which build trust and also talks about how trust can be destroyed more quickly than it is built.
I hope that today's team building tip provides an opportunity for reflection, dialogue and action for you and the team around trust.
With best wishes,
Jennifer
