Building Trust With Your Team

How do you build trust with your employees?

🔒 Do what you say and say what you do - don't get upset with your employees if they aren't on time to your meetings if you are never on time to theirs.
🔒 Communicate openly and honestly - be as transparent as possible and share what you can, no one wants to hear something that isn't true or accurate. If you don't know the answer, say you don't know the answer.
🔒 Demonstrate that you are competent in your role - you don't have to know how to do your employees' jobs. You're the leader, you aren't hired to perform their duties, but you were hired to lead the team. Show you are a competent leader.
🔒 Treat your employees with respect, dignity and empathy - treat them as you would want to be treated.
🔒 Admit when you make a mistake - if you can't admit when you make a mistake, you lose a lot of credibility.
🔒 Maintain confidentiality - when an employee shares something with you, do not gossip or share that information without permission
🔒 Be Consistent - Ensure that you are maintaining consistency in your words, actions and behaviors.

Building trust goes a long way to establishing a high performing team. By creating mutual trust, the sky is the limit for your team!
