How does a manager develop trust in the team?
The Team Doc Says…
Trust is not a right, it is earned. Some team members will trust the manager from the outset, and others will have to see proof. Here are a few ways:
- By doing what you say.
- By communicating openly with your team.
- By actively listening to your team members.
- By allowing team members to take risks and grow.
- By breaking down walls for your team.
- By providing feedback that enables growth.
- By rewarding in public.
- By managing discipline in private.
- By sharing the lead.
