We all know what a distrustful workplace looks like – managers withhold information, people talk behind each other’s backs, employees are afraid to share concerns, and no one takes responsibility. The results are an unhealthy work environment, team members with low morale, low productivity, and increased turnover.

When there are trusting relationships between team members and their leaders, you have the foundation for building a successful organization with high levels of collaboration, increased creativity, risk-taking, innovation, and more effective execution of your business strategy.
