How to Build a High-Trust Team Culture
Trust isn't built in a workshop. It's built in the small, repeated patterns leaders show up with every week.
Trust on a team is the cumulative result of small, repeated mismatches, or matches, between what gets said and what gets done. It rarely changes in big moments. It changes in the dozens of small ones nobody is looking at.
Building it requires a leader to be predictable, to repair publicly when they miss, and to invest in the relational fabric of the team during the calm months, so it holds when the hard ones arrive.
