070: I DON’T TRUST THEM: Trusting People at Work
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Navigating trust dynamics in the workplace can be challenging, especially when you don't have the luxury of choosing your colleagues.
Unlike personal relationships where trust is a cornerstone, work relationships can often feel like a trade-off between trust and recognition for your contributions. However, this dichotomy is a misconception.
In fact, I argue that embracing trust is a crucial factor in bringing out your best self at work. In this episode, I delve into both apparent and hidden aspects of trusting your colleagues in the corporate setting. I explore how skepticism can inadvertently erode your own trustworthiness and how choosing to trust can elevate your performance and foster a healthier team environment.
While it might seem idealistic, I present compelling reasons why trusting others, even in the face of uncertainty, is a pragmatic and astute strategy that benefits both you and your team.
Join me in unraveling the intricacies of trust in the workplace and discovering the transformative power of this mindset.
