Show Notes

What’s the single most important element in building a high-performing team? Trust.

In any organization, trust is a precious commodity, one that must be nurtured and protected. It’s the glue that allows people to work effectively with one another. It dispels fear, spurs innovation and acts as a catalyst for growth in your organization.


In today’s show, Jess shares some expert tips for creating and cultivating trust within your team.


You’ll learn the power of vulnerability-based trust, and how a willingness to acknowledge and address your own weaknesses can build stronger connections with your team members and help them do the same.


You’ll learn about the concept of “similarity bias” - how to identify it and prevent it from clouding your judgment.


Jess also stresses the importance of integrity and reveals why it is the foundation of trust within organizations.


Enjoy!
