Trust. What does it mean to you? Your team? Your organization?
There are many ways to look at trust, but in the context of having a connected team, I will phrase it in a simple question: Do you feel comfortable in being vulnerable to open up to one another?
What are some examples of being vulnerable?
- Admitting your mistakes;
- Admitting your weaknesses;
- Overcoming fear or shame to ask for help;
- Addressing your concerns without fear of reprisal;
- Challenging convention e.g. this is the way we’ve always done it;
- Challenging others to be accountable.
There are many ways to establish, maintain and improve trust on a team, and it all starts with creating a safe environment for people to be vulnerable to take chances.
Your Team CAN handle the Truth!
Once you have a team that trusts one another, then each member can move to truly open communication, where honest conversations can regularly occur that will help to support: customers, team members and each individual! Trust = Results!
