Even if one person does not trust the others around the table, it starts to erode the team element. When I trust those around me, it frees me to do what I do best instead of checking up on them. When I am trusted, I know I stretch my wings and go places where I may not have gone before. It gives me the confidence to think outside and leave the box and explore new possibilities. It allows me to think revolutionary thoughts instead of wondering if anyone cares about what I am thinking.
Trust liberates teams.
Distrust destroys them. Great teams may not have a great leader. Not any more. If you aren't a great leader leading a great team, you need to realize it. If you are a leader in name only, then you have to find the real leader or maybe accept team leadership.
