Clearing Up Misconceptions About Trust

#3 | What actually is "trust?" While it’s a commonly used term, and one most of us would consider crucial to our relationships, how often do we really look into the different ways trust comes up at work and at home daily? In this episode, we take a closer look at “trust” and how it shows up through the lens of the workplace. Jump off from the seemingly simple question, “what is trust?” into an in-depth discussion on the many ways trust, or a lack thereof, impacts us each day. Topics covered include: what trust is, how trust issues commonly show up in the workplace, what leaders see when trust fails, if trust can be lost, common barriers to trust, and more. This episode is the third in the foundational series and is recommended to revisit as you progress through the podcast episodes.
