INSTANT TAKEAWAYS

1 | People will not follow those they do not trust

Earning your team’s trust is key to your team’s success. One way to do this is to invite honest feedback from team members and actively listen to all viewpoints. Another way to build trust is to share with your team if you are struggling with something, but also build confidence in your leadership by sharing your decision-making process.

2 | Trust in the potential of your team members

Invite team members to grow by giving them more responsibility and remember that trust is a part of delegation. Resist the temptation to micromanage team members, but rather help team members learn through their mistakes
