Building Trust for Leaders
Teams with high trust can benefit from higher productivity, employee engagement, increased knowledge-sharing, employee retention, improved customer loyalty, increased revenue and improved collaboration with internal and external stakeholders.
In his compelling TEDTalk Why Good Leaders Make You feel Safe, Simon Sinek says, “When people feel safe and protected by the leadership in an organization, the natural reaction is to trust and cooperate.”
But how do we build safety and trust in our teams? Workplace Strategies for Mental Health identifies 11 competencies and behaviours that build trust and safety:
- Credibility
- Integrity
- Trust in others
- Supportive mindset
- Humility
- Accountability
- Transparency
- Empathy
- Reliability
- Sincerity
- Have a growth mindset
Learn more about these competencies in the Building Trust for Leaders article on Workplace Strategies for Mental Health, which includes a 1-minute video about each competency and additional resources to help you build these essential leadership competencies for building trust.
