We’re wired to connect. From sports clubs to workplaces, we seek our place. But what truly unites a team is trust.
As a leader, you’re not just running a company. You’re nurturing a team. Your core values are the bedrock on which your team stands. They attract aligned individuals, forming a community bound by more than just paychecks.
As Simon Sinek aptly puts it, “A team is not a group of people who work together. A team is a group of people who trust each other.”
Your team forms around:
- Shared values
- Common interests
- Complementary skills
- Aligned vision
- Clear targets
Ignore these, and you’ll invite discord. Embrace them, and you’ll foster a culture of trust that flourishes.
Remember, your workplace is just one of many groups your employees belong to. But it’s a crucial one. Make it matter.
Get crystal clear on your vision. It’s the beacon guiding the right people to your team.
Are you building a company or cultivating a trust-centered team?
