Trust must be cultivated over time through actions from "summary" of The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni
Trust is not something that can be achieved overnight. It is not enough to simply say that you trust someone; trust must be earned through actions. It is through consistent actions over time that trust is truly cultivated within a team. This means showing up for team members, delivering on promises, and being reliable in times of need. When team members consistently demonstrate trustworthiness through their actions, trust begins to take root and grow. This is because trust is not just about words; it is about reliability and dependability. When team members can rely on each other to follow through on commitments and support one another when needed, trust is strengthened. Building trust through actions requires a willingness to be vulnerable and open with one another. This means admitting mistakes, asking for help when needed, and being transparent about intentions and motives. When team members are honest and open with each other, trust is deepened and solidified. Trust is a fragile thing that can easily be broken if not nurtured and cared for. This is why it is so important for team members to be mindful of their actions and the impact they have on others. By consistently demonstrating trustworthiness through actions, team members can create a foundation of trust that will help them navigate challenges and conflicts together. In the end, trust is the foundation of any successful team. Without trust, communication breaks down, conflicts escalate, and collaboration becomes impossible. By cultivating trust through actions, team members can build a strong and cohesive team that is capable of achieving great things together.
