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?
