Is there Trust in your Organization?

What happens when your company battles with itself?

This is a clear sign of unhealthy and destructive behavior that directly affects your bottom line. There is no win/win; there is no win/lose; the only outcome that is derived from internal relationships battling against one another is lose/lose.

Lose/lose environments:
1. Destroys Trust in your organization
2. Poisons interpersonal relationships
3. Destroys organizational effectiveness
4. Diverts time and energy
5. Provokes anger, resentment, and retaliation

Building confidence in your relationships with others is the foundation for Trust.

When you have high trust in your work relationships with others, you can become a high performing team and organization. Being willing to trust begets trust, and so the positive cycle begins, thus creating win/win relationships working towards a common goal.

Building win/win relationships begins with:
1. Listening empathetically
2. Finding out what is important to others
3. Agreeing on clear, common goals
4. Avoiding absolute statements
5. Involving others who are affected

Define the first steps you need to take to transform your organization; build upon those steps and create trust, win/win solutions, and ultimately, a high performance team working toward a shared mission or purpose that motivates and inspires others.

To your success!
