How do you measure someone’s trustworthiness? Madelyn (Varner) Walker #simonsinek #teambuilding #teamculture

In 2012, Cherie was working for an organization that handled traffic cameras. Although the work was somewhat fulfilling, she describes her former boss as a “horrible, abusive, and narcissistic” individual who thrived on belittling his employees in public. “On numerous occasions, he set me and my colleagues up to look inept to our CIO,” she says. But the last straw, according to Cherie, was when he mocked her for reporting a bed bug bite to HR. Cherie indicated that their building was infested with them, and although she eventually reported him to HR, they did nothing; Cherie eventually quit the company. An often-cited Gallup study of more than 27 million employees revealed that many people left their jobs because of a bad manager. But unfortunately, that means that there is no shortage of toxic companies and toxic leaders. According to Roderic Yapp, poisonous leaders are self-serving and do not care about the organization or its people; they treat people as a vehicle to help them get where they want. Study these characteristics carefully as outlined by Padilla, Hogan, and Kaiser because they will help you identify toxic leadership and, by extension, toxic cultures.

Respect is the glue that holds teams and organizations together. When there is a high level of trust and respect in any environment, loyalty is extremely high, and employees become very confident because people are treated with courtesy and kindness. This is why influential leaders extend a Circle of Safety to include every single person on their team. As a result, all forms of discrimination, bullying and gossiping are rejected, and as a result, the organization becomes very influential and very profitable.

Give people permission to make mistakes and the obligation to learn from them. Mistakes will happen; it is inevitable; what happens after differentiates average organizations from great ones. When errors are made, our actions shift from doing the right thing to covering our behinds in many instances. Pointing fingers rather than accepting personal responsibility, hiding errors rather than fixing them, and allowing minor problems to become big ones because they’re inadequately addressed. Remember that mistakes are vital to our growth; we often put way too much pressure on ourselves to seek some unrealistic ideal of perfection. As the leader, let your team know that there’s no shame in making mistakes, and most importantly, you have their back when they happen. I have seen people in leadership positions duck and throw their people under the bus when mistakes happen, and this leads to mistrust, lack of inspiration and the fear to try anything new. The most extraordinary people in their felids have made countless mistakes; they didn’t give up. They persevered and inspired many people to follow their example; as Albert Einstein puts it, a person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.

We can accomplish things that we could never do on our own when we have the right person by our side helping make it happen!
