Five T's to Gaining and Maintaining Your Team's Trust
Trust in the leader is the most important factor that can make or break a team. Your team may be delivering on expectation on a regular basis but the entire dynamics can be highly dysfunctional. In a normal situation, surviving through regular days is not tough for such teams (it may not be effortless though!). But all days are not the same and challenges are inevitable. The more aggressive your company's growth plans are, the more the turbulence.
These are the exact times when you need strong cohesion among your teams and an unbudging trust in you as a leader. But how exactly can you gain your team's trust? Is it really that difficult? Absolutely not! This article brings to you the five T's that will help you gain your team's confidence and trust.
Turbulences can be of many types, a difficult project, new and strong additions to the team, or team restructures. All of these are the most natural things to happen to fast-growing companies. Understanding the turbulence in terms of the background, specific impact on the business and the team, and repercussions is a must for a good leader. It is impossible to convince your teams to embrace the turbulence (but not live with it) if you don't embrace it. You may sometimes need to question the turbulence to get complete clarity and contest it if you disagree.
