How To Build Trust In The Team Leader

by Denise O'Berry

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.
