Trust is critical in business , because it can make or break a team, and business can no longer survive without teams. Teamwork used to be something you needed only for special projects. Now, it's the norm. Potential employees used to be asked about their individual accomplishments in previous jobs. Now organizations want to know if you are a team player and ask about team success stories.
Business needs teamwork to survive , and trust is absolutely essential to teamwork.
We can't assume that a group of people who are told to become a team will know how to build the relationships needed to maintain that team. We can't assume that everyone knows what it takes to build and foster trust. This doesn't mean printing a mission statement and posting it around the building. Employees need to have time to sit in a room and discuss trust and teamwork and change. They need to talk about real-life issues at work.
