Trust in business is foundational. It underlies every human relationship, every interaction, every communication, every initiative, every work project, and any strategic goal you aim to achieve.
Delegation is a powerful leadership skill. Yet, most leaders don't receive adequate training in delegating effectively or don't fully understand it's importance.
As someone who speaks at leadership conferences to help leaders understand how to identify and maintain trust, I often get requested about what team building exercises need to be designed into the conference program to help employees build trust with each other. What is interesting is that I commonly come across three common misperceptions of how you foster trust in a company that actually do more harm than good.
Typically, leaders in big organisations ask me “I trust my team, but I don’t trust management at large or even the culture. How can I build trust in a low trust company?” It’s a good question that can be difficult for an individual to overcome without the right strategies.
