Building TRUST on Your Team

The most essential element of any thriving team is trust. Trust is essential because without it, connection and creativity will both get shut down.  In today’s episode, we dive into Charle’s Feltman’s book, The Thin Book of Trust to explore the importance of trust within your team. According to Feltman, there are four distinctions or quadrants of trust. The first is reliability – do you follow through and do what you say you’re going to do?  To learn about the other three quadrants, and to hear us unpack all four for you, listen along today. We’ll help you discover how important trust is for everyone on your team. If after listening today, you discover you might need to work on the trust levels in your team, contact us. We’ve got a great trust program that can help your team build a language of trust for your team.  At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys. CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts.
