![]() Somehow in today’s world of technology, e-mail, social media, remote working, and globalization, we have forgotten this simple truth. Throughout human history, people have talked to each other-using gesture and touch, smiles and frowns, myths and stories-to build collaboration and trust and get things done. We also believe that it is possible to work at, practice, and become better at building effective, trusting relationships by rediscovering a fundamental truth: the power of honest, authentic, two-way human conversations at work. When you have trusting relationships with the people on your team, anything is possible when trust is absent, little of long-term, sustainable value can be achieved. We propose that working to build trusting relationships is your first and most profound duty as a leader. ![]() In so many organizations today, leaders seem to have forgotten (or never learned) the power and importance of being simply human-of building personal trusting relationships with those they lead, of listening to others with care and humanity, of making things happen through deep emotional engagement with the people in their teams.Īs we approach the third decade of the 21st century, we believe there is now compelling evidence that we also need to enter a new era of leadership where the requirement for leaders to build and maintain genuinely trusting relationships with those they lead takes center stage. ![]()
