Without trust, teams will lack candid communication. And without open and honest communication, how can teams thrive?

You are right on target.

Thanks for pointing out this book. I love the language of “trust dividend” and “trust tax” because it explains it in language we can all understand. If we focus on how we interact with others — with this language in mind — we will communicate much more effectively, and increased trust will come as a result.

Michael

The main premise of “The Speed of Trust” is that when we have a very high degree of trust i those we have relationships with, both at home and at work, we receive a kind of “trust dividend” in our relaionship that helps us accomplish great things at a teriffic speed.

Conversely, when trust is low in our relationships, there is a kind of “trust tax” imposed that really slows everything down to a snail’s pace, because everyone feels a much greater need to take their time and check everything out and do exhaustive due dilligence and wait and see how things go.

Your post is absolutely right on. If we really want to make some light in the world, we have to establish for ourselves a reputation of trustworthiness. As we do, we ill increase the rate and pace of what we create, because the people around us trust us and want to help accelerate the good work we are doing.

Great post!
