Teammates are vulnerable with one another; they are confident that their respective vulnerabilities will not be used against them. On a team, trust is all about vulnerability, which is difficult for most people. Trust is the foundation of real teamwork (there is nothing touchy-feely about this). Achieving vulnerability-based trust (where team members have overcome their need for invulnerability) is difficult because in the course of career advancement and education, most successful people learn to be competitive with their peers, and protective of their reputations. It is a challenge for them to turn those instincts off for the good of the team, but that is exactly what is required. Like a good marriage, trust on a team is never complete; it must be maintained over time. The key ingredient to building trust is not time. It is courage. Members of trusting teams admit weaknesses and mistakes, take risks in offering feedback and assistance, and focus time and energy on important issues, not politics. Members of trusting teams accept questions and input about their areas or responsibility, appreciate and tap into one another’s skills and experiences, and look forward to meetings and other opportunities to work as a group. –––~~~••• O •••~~~––– If you would like your organization to find out how to put into practice the meaning of these trust quotes about team building through my speaking, training, or consulting services, please click on this link.
