Did you know that only 23% of US employees trust their organization’s leadership (Gallup poll, 2/23)?
Did you know that transparency is the first step in building trust?
In a recent Forbes Coaches Council panel on addressing performance anxiety in your team, I encourage transparency as a way to build trust:
“The most useful action a leader can take is to acknowledge the elephant in the room by saying, “I feel like our team is always on edge about our performance, which concerns me. As your leader, I want us to be focused on our goals in a sustainable way. I worry that being on edge will lead you to burnout. I was hoping you could help me fix it by telling me what I or we can start, stop or continue.” – Jill Helmer, Jill Helmer Consulting
