Establishing Trust

Trust is the Foundation

Together we will understand why members of great teams trust one another on a fundamental level. We will examine the importance of vulnerability and the need for honesty with each other regarding our weaknesses, mistakes and fears. We will explore the difference between trusting competency and trusting character, and how to create an environment that fosters both.
