T is for ‘TRUST’ in teamwork.
The cost of ‘conflict’ can be overwhelming.
Working in a team doesn’t always go as planned.
You may mesh well with some of your team members and butt heads with others.
This can lead to some major headaches, breakdowns in communication and avoidable conflict.
The dynamics of trust-mistrust in an organization can make or break the culture and bond in an organization.
There can be nothing more damaging than a lack of trust between the employees of an organization.
Organizational trust index suggested by Shockley-Zalabak (1999) consists of five factors that suggest and influence trust in an organization:
1. Competence (effectiveness of the team members);
2. Openness and honesty (the sincerity and quantity of information flow);
3. Concern for employees (showing empathy, tolerance, safety and security);
4. Reliability (consistency/dependency);
5. Identification (sharing common goals and values)
Decisions are made more quickly, team members work better together, issues are brought up more quickly, there’s better innovation, and problems are solved more effectively in #trust environments.
And #Belbin team role is ‘THE-TOOL’ for it.
