The Silent Killer of Great Teams? Lack of Trust.
Most leaders think trust is built over time.
๐ช๐ฅ๐ข๐ก๐๐
Trust is built in moments.
One broken promise.
One ignored concern.
One time taking credit for their work.
Thatโs all it takes for trust to vanish.
And without trust, teams:
๐จ Hold back their best ideas.
๐จ Avoid difficult conversations.
๐จ Do the bare minimum instead of taking ownership.
So, how do you fix it? The 3C Trust Formula:
1๏ธโฃ Clarity โ Say what you mean, mean what you say. No mixed signals.
2๏ธโฃ Consistency โ Follow through every single time. No exceptions.
3๏ธโฃ Care โ Show them they matter beyond their work output. No fake empathy.
When trust is strong:
โ People challenge each other (without fear).
โ Problems get solved faster.
โ Performance skyrockets.
Great leaders donโt demand trust. ๐ง๐ต๐ฒ๐ ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฟ๐ป ๐ถ๐โ๐ผ๐ป๐ฒ ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป ๐ฎ๐ ๐ฎ ๐๐ถ๐บ๐ฒ.
