It’s Week #6 of 2016. This is our latest article in a series of  ideas to elevate trust in your organization, drawn from our 3rd annual 2016 Trust Poster….now hanging in offices of hundreds of organizations around the world who have placed trust on their business agenda.

52 Ideas That You Can Implement to Build Trust

Professor Roger Steare, also known as The Corporate Philosopher, a Trust Alliance Member from the UK, and one of our 2016 Top Thought Leaders in Trust, offers this:

Leaders can create a culture of trust by helping people feel valued, respected and heard in every meeting, huddle or call.

After working with leaders in many organizations across the world for 15 years, it has become clear to me that large-scale, “boil the ocean”, change programs fail because we do not experience leadership, culture and trust at large scale, we experience it locally in the here and now. Who your local manager is, their character, their values and their behavior are more likely to inspire you or de-motivate you than any messaging you get from the center. So as a leader, we lead locally with our teams. Focus on creating a safe, open climate for debate and constructive dissent. To create trust in your organization, treat your colleagues as mature, responsible grown-ups rather than children or compliant robots.

When a team outgrows individual performance and learns team confidence, excellence becomes a reality. 

Joe Paterno

Today I am excited to be one of the first to share a brand new research study from the Chartered Management Institute titled The Moral DNA of Performance and co-authored by one of our trust alliance members in the UK, Roger Steare. This is a fascinating report that further supports our business case for trust & ethics and concludes with the following:

As we look more closely at the morality of managers through the lens of MoralDNA, we see that being good and doing things right is mostly about our empathy, our reason and our values. It is much less about the achievement of narrow financial targets; or our robotic compliance with rules and regulations. And yet governments, businesses, public services and charities still persist in a focus on quantitative targets and bureaucratic red-tape that drive dysfunctional and unethical workplace cultures. This has to change.

To access the full report and read the recommendations, please follow this link.

Thank you Roger for the opportunity to share this with our audience.
