Building and Maintaining Trust
8:45 AM - 10:00 AM

Many experts agree that trust is perhaps the most important element of a harmonious, synergistic and efficient work environment. As leaders it is important for one to build and maintain that trust with those that we lead. During the session we will discuss: Five ways for leaders to build trust: Establish and maintain integrity, Communicate vision and values, Consider everyone as equal partners, Focus on shared rather than personal goals, and Do what's right regardless of personal risk. The five fastest ways to lose trust: Act and speak inconsistently, Seek personal rather than shared gain, Withhold information, Lie or tell half-truths, and Be closed-minded.
