“Trust is built with consistency.” — Lincoln Chafee
The California Redwoods are known to grow massive in size and live to become ancient landmarks. What gives them such longevity and stability? Deep below the surface, their roots intertwine with other trees, forming a network of connection and solidarity.
So when the winds come, the Redwoods are strong enough to sustain the threat of destruction. What would be a challenge to one redwood’s existence becomes a matter of unity and strength in numbers. They all support each other. This is what trust looks like on winning teams. Every player has a part and every part matters.
No Trust, No Winning
Show me a winning team and therein lies trust. No consistently winning team exists without a foundation of trust across its culture. Here is why.
When there is trust, the team members are willing to go out and execute, taking risks to benefit the team. In cultures without trust, out of fear of adverse consequences, the team is not willing to take the same risks.
Trust motivates innovation, action and accountability.
If you want to improve your team performance, start with trust.
- Get to know the people on your team
- Show them your team is a safe place to take risks
- Demonstrate support and the best interests of the team
