Our September Trust Quest asked the following question:
What is the bigger issue in your organization?
Leadership doesn’t trust its employees?
Employees don’t trust their leaders?
And here are the results of our poll…
71% of our respondents said that employees don’t trust their leaders. What does this say about leadership? How long will leaders continue to ignore the impact on their organization of low employee trust including:
- Disengagement
- High turnover
- Low innovation
- Poor morale
Trust starts at the top. It can’t be delegated to HR or any other department. The tools to build trust are readily available to enlightened leaders who choose to make trust a business priority.
