Building trust before you start

Category: Starting the Journey

Several leaders I have met shared with me that, before they could start on this journey, they sensed they first needed to build more trust with their colleagues.

It makes sense to me: many employees have learnt from past experience  not to trust people at the top. And you are asking them to join in a journey that might not make sense to them, at least at first. They will join only if they really trust you.

How can you build that trust?
