Episode 004 – How To Create A Harvest Of Trust – Podcast

Create Trust Like A Farmer Creates A Harvest

• Trust affects the speed of business.
• You can create an environment of trust.
• When trust is high, you get projects done with less drama.
• Every farmer is convinced in sowing and reaping.
• They believe the harvest is hidden in the seed..
• Trust is just like seed.

1. A farmer prepares the ground

• You have to prepare the ground of your team by talking about trust.
• Your words create expectancy.
• Show them what a high-trust high performance team can look like.
• Close the gap between expectations and reality.
• The bigger that gap between expectations and reality, the larger the drama.

2. A farmer sows the seed

• You have to sow the seed of trust first.
• As a leader you go first. You give trust first.
• You will never have the things you want in your organization unless you give them first.
• Earn your team’s heart by first giving yours.
• The greater the risk, the greater the reward.
• You trust your people first.
• The more transparent you are, the easier it is to see your heart.
• People connect with your why, before they connect with your how.
• Don’t be self-oriented, but become other oriented.

3. A farmer waters that ground

• Trust does not occur in one event.
• Change transpires in a process, not a one-time event.
• Don’t give up and revert to the carrot and stick approach of management.
• Changing culture takes a process.
• Values and beliefs take time to change.
• When you have trust, people motivate themselves.
• When you create a high-trust, high-performance culture, that culture will give you want you want.

Who can you give trust to?
