In Conversation - Ben Grimes Top Five Tips For Building Teams
"Trust is really a two-way street. And in order to build trust, there has to be a first mover. As a leader, it's incumbent upon you to be the first mover. And so, if you want to create a trusting environment within your team, you have to offer trust. And that means trusting that your folks have the organization's and the team's best interests in mind, trust that they have the skills to pursue the tasks and projects that you've given them.”
