Inspiring Trust in Workplace Teams
I'll be honest.... I've fired a few bosses and colleagues in my time and it felt good. With that said, I'll tell you more. Trust me...
I fired these people from my work-life because it was the right thing to do, they simply were not trustworthy, consistent and honest, they did not act with integrity, Trust is the cornerstone of work place culture and productive business.
The people I trusted, I still have a connections with long after working with them, that tells you something doesn't it. Trust leads to growth.
“Trust takes time to build but takes only seconds to loose”. How true this.
Building trust in a team will be one of your greatest challenges and your greatest achievements. I find that most organisations are constantly challenged by establishing, rebuilding, maintaining and in many cases dealing with the results of low trust.
Many factors contribute to this and with changing market forces, workforce demographics, employment opportunities, and lifestyle options it may impact on us more greatly in the future.
Trust impacts on us 24/7, 365 days a year and underpins and affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, every work project, every business venture and every effort we are engaged in.
Building trust in teams and business makes good economic and social sense not to say common sense. Without it you’re out of business. If we are really honest about developing organisational or team trust, have a go at answering these questions candidly.
Here is your challenge:
I trust you will work on it.
Trust is something that we can do something about and we can get better at it.
We can help you by providing solutions that are responsive through organisational facilitation, coaching and team development.
Journey well,

Building trust in teams and business makes good economic and social sense not to say common sense. Without it you’re out of business. If we are really honest about developing organisational or team trust, have a go at answering these questions candidly.
Here is your challenge:
- How would you describe a low trust organisation or team?
- How would you describe a high trust organisation or team?
- Which description best suits your organisation or team?
- What are the results of these behaviours?
- What behaviours need to stop?
- What behaviours need to continue?
- If change is needed, what is it, how will it be done , who will do it, when will it be done it and when will it be reviewed?
I trust you will work on it.
