Building Trust as Team Members
Suggested Strategy: In a group coaching setting, use Peer-to-Peer Coaching — team members have opportunities to grow regardless of personality types, and will ultimately rely on one another in a trusting manner.
Suggested Questions:
Î Define & Coach: Use this form of questioning to allow employees to create a mutual understanding of trust and the implications it has for teamwork. This process allows clarification and setting of expectations. By creating a shared definition of teamwork, employees will have increased stake in the success of implementing trust. Î Risk Question: What risk do we, as a team, assume if we don’t start trusting each other more?
Suggested Activities:
Î Whiteboard Coaching: This strategy brings individualization as a tool so they can see and ultimately embrace what needs to change. First, ask the group how they would currently describe their level of trust among the team. Write down their responses on the left-hand side of the board. Second, ask and write down the answers on the right- hand side how they would ideally like to be regarding trust as a team. Finally, erase the left-hand side of the board, and replace with steps that need to be taken to achieve the skills on the right side of the board. Î Peer-to-Peer Coaching: Have two peers interact weekly to discuss some of the topics you covered in the group coaching session. Have the employees summarize by crafting an email and sending their thoughts to the whole team.
