Trust

What you will get: Reflections on the importance of Trust

 

The Psychological Contract

 

Perhaps the most important contract in any organisation.

 

Yet sadly, it’s often overlooked.

 

You see…

 

Maybe it’s easier to create targets, KPI’s, performance measures, and all the other measures organisations spend hours and hours analysing in spreadsheets.

 

But what good is all of this, if people don’t trust and respect each other?

 

Think about this question for a moment…

 

What is lack of trust costing your organisation right now?

 

Wasted time?
Wasted energy?
Wasted resources?

 

In fact…

 

You could go as far as saying that TRUST lies at the heart of any successful organisation.

 

If you create an organisational climate built on trust, there will be no game playing.

 

And what’s more…

 

People will share ideas.
People will support each other.
People will express how they feel openly, without fear of being judged.

 

And there will be no back-stabbing for personal gain.

 

So how do your build trust?

 

Openness.
Transparency.
Authenticity.

 

Of course I’m not saying it’s easy to develop a climate of high levels of openness and trust. But if you want high levels of engagement and performance that last, trust is essential.

 

So how about your team or organisation right now? If you were to take this quick poll, taken from my brand new Limbic Performance System online programme and App, what would your team say…
