Teamwork: What's Trust Got To Do With It?

Teamwork can be a tricky thing. Undoubtedly you have had an experience where you have been on a team but feel everyone is working against you. You cannot trust them, you do not want to work with them, and you want to quit. You can change how you feel about your teammates, even if you think you cannot. Trust is a two-way street, and trusting those around you, and having them trust you, is integral to a successful team. So how do you better trust your teammates, and have them trust you?

There are several key aspects for fostering trust; openness, credibility and respect. If these three things are not present, there likely will be no trust. Without trust, the team will not operate effectively. If you feel someone is not being open with you, be open with them and explain how you feel. Similarly, if you do not feel respected, perhaps it is because they do not feel you respect them either. The viability and success of your team may hinge on the members trusting one another, so utilize the information presented in this Video On Demand, and learn how to help generate trust and better teamwork.
