Although skepticism has its merits, trust is crucial to team effectiveness. To cultivate trust among your team members, place your trust in them first. Show them you believe they are competent and up to the job at hand. Value their contributions by trusting them with increasingly challenging tasks and give them the autonomy they need to shine. Leaders who "test" employees can do serious harm to the overall well-being of the team. Trust is a two-way street and the sooner you start down your side, the sooner your employees will accelerate down theirs.
Today's Management Tip was adapted from "6 Questions to Help You Build Trust on Your Team" by Lieutenant Colonel Diane Ryan.
