Building trust

A bit of trust goes a long way.

(Via Pascal Van Cauwenberghe) David Anderson gives us a few tips on building trust:
  • Trust begets trust
  • Be humble and respect the other
  • Vulnerability disarms
  • Apologise for poor results; take responsibility, even if you weren't involved in the delivery of the poor results; promise better; deliver
  • Keep delivering, regularly, predictably
  • Deliver daily on your personal commitments; deliver daily or weekly on team commitments
  • Demonstrate competence; rehearse and practice for perfect delivery
  • Be transparent
  • Encourage learning from failure
  • Get rid of command and control
  • Build up a reputation
  • Define clear values and principles; let them guide decision making
