Creating Trust Within Business
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Trust is a two way street. In business, how do you foster trust between leaders and team members? This week we’re joined by Liz Cortes, cofounder of RebelFish, to share horror stories of broken trust. Missing paychecks, steamrolled boundaries, and unfulfilled promises add up to unstable working relationships. But it’s not all doom and gloom; we also dive into ways to strengthen the trust in your team. Much like a personal relationship, it’s all about communication and setting boundaries.
Be sure to keep up with Liz’s work after the show! She plans to launch a podcast for people who work with their families and spouses.
