As we explored earlier this week, trust is a key issue for teams today. Today's blog post looks at four ways to build trust in your team -
1. Connection - We feel supported when we feel valued, known and heard. Connection is a critical factor for high performing teams. Teams who feel connected with each other have often invested time in getting to know one another, and schedule time for regular connections. Perhaps a 2 pm daily meeting is the norm, or a Monday morning huddle kicks off your week. Consider what will boost connection amongst your team members.
2. Clarity - Clarity is key in creating trust. When we know what is expected of us, it is easier to follow-through and know how we are doing. Crating shared, and clear expectations of each other is important, as is having clarity around roles.
3. Communication - Communication is the foundation of connection and clarity. Consider how the tem wants to communicate with each other, and what in fact is most effective.
4. Knowledge/Competence - Many trust models talk about the importance of skills and knowledge, or what they call competence, in building trust. IF we know that others have he skills and knowledge to have our backs, we can rest easier that things will get done.
What else do you see as other factors building trust?
