Check out Dr. Westover Forbes contributions last week:
From the conclusion: "Based on my experience researching and consulting for many organizations around the world and across many industries, I have seen the transformative power cultivating informed trust has. When leaders make understanding people; gaining visibility; and acting with competence, candor and care central priorities, they build high-performing, resilient cultures.
"The empirical evidence clearly demonstrates informed trust's positive impact on metrics like productivity, innovation and staff retention, as well as on developing a supportive climate where employees can fully contribute their talents each day. While achieving full informed trust takes relentless focus, even small initial steps yield substantial returns by progressively unlocking greater cooperation and capabilities within teams.
"For any leadership team seeking sustainable excellence in our volatile, uncertain world, prioritizing informed trust may be the single most important competence to develop."
"Have An Honest Talk And Regular Check-Ins: Have an honest discussion about the negative impact of their bullying behavior. While technical skills are important, success also requires cooperation and respect. Regular check-ins can quickly remedy issues. If behaviors don’t improve after coaching, tolerating bullying risks losing other top talent who feel undermined. The potential pitfall is damage to company culture if the disrespect continues."
"Model Respectful Debate: Productive conflict involves disagreeing but focusing on problems, not people. Leaders can foster this by modeling respectful debate, encouraging alternative ideas and setting ground rules emphasizing constructive criticism over attacks. An open and psychologically safe environment where team members feel comfortable disagreeing respectfully is key."
"Dispute Negative Thoughts With Evidence: The first step is to recognize when the internal judge is speaking—questioning your abilities or flooding you with doubts. Catch those thoughts and write them down without judgment. Then, counter each negative thought with a rational, evidence-based positive thought to shift your mindset. With practice, you can learn to dispute distorted thinking and replace it with beliefs that serve your goals."
