The key to high performing teams is the level of trust the team members have for the person leading them. In fact, team members who trust their leader are on average 2.3 times more engaged than those who don’t. Employee engagement is impacted significantly by the level of trust that exists in a team which is why understanding the power of trust, how to build, and rebuild it when it has been damaged are so critical for organizational success. This is what I will cover in my brief talk.
