Why trust takes a while at the start of a new project - for everyone

A new project starts with good people and good intentions, and somehow everyone still holds back a little at first.In this episode of The Mind Behind Project Management, I look at why trust takes time at the start of a new project, why that early carefulness is normal, and what project managers can actually do to help a team feel safer to speak up sooner. Using the Notice, Decode, Act framework, this episode looks at the early signs of trust still building, what people are usually waiting for, and a few practical questions you can use in your next kickoff or project meeting.A practical, human look at project management, emotional intelligence, team dynamics, psychological safety and the early days of a delivery team. If this lands, send it to someone you are starting a project with.
