Building a High Trust Team
Your team works on location and at home, and you have never met some colleagues in the flesh. In this in-company training you learn to build trust, physically and online, and encourage people to tackle problems themselves. The training consists of 2 half-days for 6 to 12 participants, in Dutch or English.
Do you recognise this?
It is Monday morning and your team is scattered: two people at home, three in the office, one on the road. You ask who wants to pick up a difficult file and it remains quiet. No one wants to stick their neck out first.
You notice that people mainly work for themselves and that problems only come to light when they are already big. You want a team where colleagues dare to speak to each other, but you do not know where to start.
The new way of working brings a question: how do you build trust from a distance?
- you only see some colleagues a few times a month;
- you do not know how to develop self-solving and self-directing ability in your team;
- people work smart solo instead of together;
- you are looking for a safe and trusted environment, a High Trust Environment, but you do not know where you start.
Without trust, signals of problems remain unnoticed and working together remains superficial. With a few conditions, principles and techniques you can change that.
Why is trust from a distance so difficult?
Trust grows naturally in the corridor, over coffee, in small conversations. When those moments fall away, little remains to build on, and everyone fills the silence in their own way.
Then working together remains superficial. You wonder what is really going on, your team does not know if they can say that something is not working, and a lot of energy goes into checking and waiting instead of into the work itself.
It does not have to stay this way. A team that trusts each other does not happen by chance, but you can consciously choose it.
How do you build a team where people trust each other?
Building trust is a skill, and you can get to know and apply the conditions for it. That applies to teams in the office and to remote teams.
Our coaches know the discomfort of a manager who wants to let go and yet does not want to lose their grip. In 2 half-days we work with examples of sustainable collaboration and you practise the techniques immediately with your own team. This way you learn to recognise problems early, communicate openly and encourage people to get to work themselves.
You step out of the training with a clear picture of what trust needs, and with ways to let it grow in your team.
What you can do after the training
After the training you can:
- recognise problem signals quickly;
- communicate openly, transparently and respectfully;
- name the basic conditions for sustainable collaboration;
- switch in your leadership role;
- let your team work more self-directedly, using clear conditions and techniques;
- guide and encourage people to tackle problems themselves.
