Building off of Monday’s episdoe, it’s important to dive deeper into the action it takes to actually build the trust.
You have talked with your people, asking what is working, what isn’t working, how you can help them, etc…if you don’t know what I mean, watch/listen to the last episode. Now it’s important for you to get to work on those items. Consistent action and doing what you said you were going to do is the fastest way to build trust.
The next biggest piece of building trust is around how you talk about the team outside of team meetings, their successes, their failures and everywhere in between. A great leader that has trust of their team, gives credit and takes blame. If you are always finger pointing or talking bad about your team, you will never build trust.
I got pushback in one of my email responses to getting in action and solving problems and/or putting ideas in place. The leader said it was a terrible idea and wouldn’t make things worse. Which brings me to my next point, you are the leader, if you ask for ideas or problems and you think the person is way off base, it’s important to help them understand why, that also builds trust.
I hope this was helpful! Thanks for being here! Take care!
