They won\u2019t believe in your vision or put in extra effort to make it come true.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Among team members: <\/strong>Your team members must trust that they can express their thoughts openly and honestly and if they fail at a task, their teammates won\u2019t judge them.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Studies show that people who are trusting are happier and more psychologically well-adjusted than those who see the world with suspicion. Therefore,&nbsp;building trust in the workplace is a foundational step in your success.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-is-trust-earned\/\">Building trust<\/a> in the workplace is a three-step process: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Be the first to trust.<\/li><li>Show empathy.<\/li><li>Share knowledge.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Be the First to Trust<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Trust must be reciprocal; your team won\u2019t trust in you if you don\u2019t trust in them, and as the leader, you must be the first to demonstrate trust. Trust is contagious, so once you demonstrate it, others are likely to reciprocate. Distrust is contagious, too, so the reverse is also true: If you show that you don\u2019t trust others, they\u2019re unlikely to trust you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can\u2019t force others to trust you, but you can earn their trust by respecting them and their abilities.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Allow your team to do the work you assigned them without close oversight.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Encourage them to solve problems on their own.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Empower them to make decisions and to use their expertise in the way they feel best.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Also demonstrate trust by being open and honest about your goals, concerns, and values. When you reveal this kind of internal information about yourself, people usually view your motivations as more sincere, and they\u2019re likely to respond with similar openness. For example, if you&#8217;re working on a new project, you might let your team know that this is the first time you\u2019re leading something like this, and that you\u2019ll need their efforts and expertise to help you. This kind of honesty will encourage them to trust your motives and leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Show Empathy<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>As jobs become more automated, the real <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/business-competitive-advantage\/\">competitive advantage<\/a> of workers\u2014especially leaders\u2014will be their ability to foster strong relationships. <\/strong>The best leaders will be the ones people see as a partner with whom they want to work, instead of as someone merely issuing orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To show empathy for others, treat them respectfully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>When you treat people respectfully, you show them that you accept them for who they are. In doing so, you allow them to feel valued, which motivates them to work harder for you.&nbsp;<\/li><li>It also encourages them to speak freely to you about challenges, with an understanding that you&#8217;ll be constructive in your responses. This ensures that they deal with problems proactively.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>One of the best ways to show respect for someone is to actively listen to them<\/strong>. Active listening is more than just hearing\u2014it\u2019s engaging in a conversation centered around their thoughts and concerns that makes them feel valued. When you listen actively, you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Ask questions that probe and result in insights.<\/li><li>Offer suggestions.<\/li><li>Listen to ideas nonjudgmentally so people feel comfortable bouncing thoughts off of you.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Share Knowledge<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you share your knowledge and insights with your team, you reassure them of your competence, which increases their trust in you. Conversely, if you keep information to yourself, they\u2019ll feel you\u2019re protecting your \u201cturf\u201d and looking out for your own interests over their interests, which decreases their trust in you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Encourage your team members to share information with each other, as well, as this will similarly increase their trust in each other.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why is it important to foster a culture of trust in the workplace?
