A lack of transparency results in distrust and a deep sense of insecurity– Dalai Lama
How many of the following ten “trust” danger signs are present in your organization?
- Passion is missing and so is the boss
- Bureaucracy is increasing as is the compliance staff
- Closed doors have become the norm, as well as the conversations behind them
- Decisions take forever
- Employees are disengaged and turnover is increasing
- There is more talk and less listening
- Nobody ever fails, a sign of little to no innovation
- Empathy and kindness are rarities
- Transparency has taken a back seat to secrecy
- The “giving” has stopped and the day of the “free turkey” is over
The business case for trust has been made. Beware of the “trust” danger signs and address them before distrust becomes the norm.
