We all know that workplace trust in teams is a fundamental for their success. But what does trust really imply? Here Patrick Lencioni, best-selling author, consultant and expert on building winning teams, discusses the importance of workplace trust and the difference between predictive trust and vulnerability based trust within a company.
One of my favorite Patrick Lencioni quotes is: “Trust is knowing that when a team member does push you, they’re doing it because they care about the team.”
What are you doing as a manager or member of your team to build trust? The first step is to be vulnerable with your team. This will allows others to be vulnerable with you and build workplace trust.
