Ever been on a team with people you couldn’t trust? How’d that work out for you?
· Trust on a team is everything.
· Without it, there’s no team.
We often assign people to teams without doing anything to build the spirit and trust needed to make them successful. Whether onboarding new employees or assigning existing ones to group projects, take time to let them get to know and trust each other before beginning their work. Do that and the results will follow; without it the work will falter. Think about how you felt on the first day of school, work, or projects - it’s always awkward at first, but after proper time to get to know each other and what’s expected, you then forget ever feeling awkward. Find some games and exercises to help people break the ice – a little fun and laughter move that process along nicely. And to develop the trust that’s needed to make them effective together. Make trust the centerpiece of your teams today.
