Building Trust and Overcoming Dysfunctions

Trust is crucial in building high-performing teams. Absence of trust creates grudges, lack of help-seeking, and avoidance of spending time together. To foster trust, teams should create a safe environment where individuals feel comfortable being themselves. One way to do this is by asking team members how they can contribute to the team's success and hinder its progress. Another important aspect is addressing conflicts openly and embracing discomfort and messiness. Fast flagging and team follow-up can help maintain accountability and resolve issues promptly.
