Trust is at the heart of performance, engagement and healthy relationships at work. While trust is often difficult to define, we all know when it is absent.
Research published in the Harvard Business Review suggests that more than fifty percent of managers don’t trust their leaders. Carolyn Morgan from the Australian Institute of Management says that Australian organisations are facing a ‘crisis of trust’.
While there may be some trust factors that are outside of our control, as managers there are many that are 100% within our control. If you would like to build more trusting relationships at work and break the negative cycle of mistrust, then this Short Shot is for you.

Facilitate by James McNamar from The Impact Factory, this leadership training coiurse takes a refreshingly practical look into trust at work. This session examines the behaviours that build trust and those that lead to mistrust. Grass roots strategies that build trust within teams are explored in detail.
