Single Post

  • "Individuals talk openly about their strengths and their weaknesses.
  • People offer both support and challenge in meetings, clarifying intention and asking questions without appearing judgmental.
  • People know more about each other than just their names.
  • There are references to people's lives outside the workplace (images, artwork, etc.).
  • People seem to assume positive intent with one another.
  • Competition is focused on winning in the market or against the competition rather than internally.
  • Team leaders and people managers walk the talk.
  • Talking to is balanced with listening to.
  • People admit mistakes and discuss learning (p. 172-173)."

What are some additional characteristics of trust-based relationships?
