Team Ingredient #2

Trust Among Members: What is natural is to rely on yourself or your department and not expect much from others. What is unnatural yet necessary, is to develop an interdependency on others characterized by high trust and risk taking.

Actions: Leaders develop trust by trusting their people.

  • Leaders develop trust by being vulnerable and admitting their mistakes.
  • Leaders make and keep small promises.
  • Leaders set high expectations for their team and encourage risk taking an direct feedback.
