In today’s increasingly global marketplace, a premium is placed on true collaboration, teaming, relationships and partnering, and all these interdependencies require trust. One of the major reasons employees leave a company is due to lack of trust in their relationship with their direct manager or supervisor. Having strong, effective skills to build trust in today's workplace is recognized as not only a valuable leadership asset, but as a key competency. Great leaders don’t dictate; they influence. Influence comes from a leader’s ability to engender credibility and inspire people to both believe them and believe in them. |
|
Learning Objectives |
The Five Waves of Trust program is designed to help leaders: • Choose to make building trust an explicit goal of their work • Understand the real measurable Trust Taxes they might be paying without realizing it • Change Trust Taxes to Trust Dividends, which are the benefits that come from growing relationships of trust • Make action plans to build Trust Accounts with all key stakeholders |
|
Course Benefits |
The workshop focuses on engaging the participants around identifying and closing gaps that exist within their relationships at work (and personally). Instead of paying outrageous “trust taxes” people can begin to realize “trust dividends.” Conducting day to day work at the “speed of trust” dramatically lowers costs, speeds up results, and increases profits and influence. As a result leaders realize that high trust in an organization is not a “nice to have” but a “must have”in order to drive success within their teams and Wilfred Laurier University as an organization. |
