Why Trust is Key to High-Performing Teams

Preach!!!

My last job which I had to leave even though I needed the money so bad was like Caesars. Very poor management, almost chaotic. But I liked the team a lot so I stayed for 2 years.

I had a bussness which lasted 10 years, because I was too good with people, they trusted me, but in the end I had not earned much money to keep the bussness alive.
Another client I had , was terrible with his workers, paid them well, but tortured them all time. He is still running the bussness.
I think that 90 % of normal bussnesses that go forward are run by harsh people , a dictatorial sort of....

Too bad Wall Street traders and investors don’t care how much trust there is the teams of the corporations in which invest.
They like the short-term results delivered by CEOs that do not create trust and do not apply leadership as Simon’s tells us.

I have a Question... All that content is not aplicable to Hispanics isn't it?? Because, I am VERY sure that if somebody shows them empathy, I don't know if they are going to very productive...

Very true. I teach at a couple different places. At one of them, the bosses and at times even the assistants will tell me how to do my job, take over things and just completely undermine me.
At the other one i can just do things the way i see fit. Not saying im always right but they let me be me and let me do my job.
At the first place i dont have to prepare anything but i hate it. At the second place i have to put thought and effort and time into preparing each class, but when i go to work, im happy and am still happy when i leave work instead of feeling drained.
Side note, at the first place, none of the bosses or teaching assistants r actually even remotely qualified to teach but act like they know best (especially the bosses) and they just actively make things infinitely worse.
Just yesterday my boss literally told me "dont teach him" cuz she was so focused on making sure she could get the video she wanted to send to the parents and i genuinely said out loud "im a teacher, let me teach"....

Thank you for sharing this perspective.

I simply love what you just said. Unfortunately most managers would like to be what you described but fail to become such a manager. There's also a lot of cargo cult behavior out there

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I LOVE YOU SIMON.

Thank you Jonathan, as usual a very interesting video. Could you perhaps let us know more about Scott Ritter's background?

Working with a financial expert could truly set you up for life. I'm delighted I was able to contact my coach Rodger Michael Karl earlier this year because while others were busy whining about the downturn I was busy cashing out from my portfolio, finally making over 370k only for the first quarter. of the year. Rodger Michael Karl. Has helped us become debt-free and save for retirement."

And what have you built, created, repaired, invented etc Simon? Grifted advice to companies?

I lead a Team. I want to be a great leader. But what do you do about toxic and low-performing employees?

Dear friend, trust is the foundation of any successful and high-performing team. When team members trust each other, they are more likely to collaborate effectively, communicate openly, and support each other. Trust also helps to create a positive and supportive work environment, where individuals feel safe to take risks and be vulnerable. Remember to prioritize building and maintaining trust with your team members, as it can lead to greater success and fulfillment for everyone involved. Best of luck in creating a high-performing team built on trust.

Attention managers and owners. Leadership is a skill. It doesn’t come with the territory.
“If you don’t know people, you don’t know business” - Simon Sinek

if i amnot mistaken there was a30 years back an analyses done on what it takes to reduce the costs for launching 1 Kg in to space with a factor >100 means trust between the groups en people is essential.

I was introduced to one of Simons other videos about a week or so ago. I have listened to a few others since. I have no issue with Simon or anyone doing what he does. What I do question is this: With all these people going to these types of meetings and bring this back to corporate to use, how come there is no changes in management?

Great apeech Simon. I like to hear you because you have a great way to say important ideas.

The quality of human interaction is suffering and it’s seeping into work and corporations.. definitely seen it with friendships and romantic involvements. We are no doubt the generation of the broken and traumatized, there are no excuses for poor behavior. Being a good person today will get you terminated.. they would rather you look down and not question anything. And if your company does really well hopefully you guys will get a pizza party. Emotional connections are frowned upon my last job emphasized, keeping personal information, private, and not sharing much of yourself to other coworkers. Lo and behold that did not work for me as I felt like I was in a cage. I am so happy they let me go. It was freedom.!❤

This is a great anecdote, and a great philosophy, but how can a company turn this into something practical? It seems that it would require every person in a company to be rather more enlightened than a typical person. And I wonder if the financial data really backs up the premise that somehow this will lead to increased profits. One of the biggest complaints people have about their job, and the thing that erodes trust the most, is that they feel their pay is too low. And they see profits going up and their pay not going up, and their workload increasing as managers cut hours and shift the burden to the remaining working hours. This happens every day. So it seems like the profit motive and building trust don’t necessarily play well together. Would love to hear your thoughts on this Simon, hopefully with some hard numbers across a range of industries (e.g. the service sector is probably quite different than the tech sector).

The right people in the right environment. I doubt all people would behave in such a way.... but after choosing the right people, this could probably work. But why does he have 2 jobs instead of just the one...??

So how do we find an organization where trust is present? What are the key markers?

Destination known, my mind’s journey now begins.
Upon my chariot, heart and soul’s fate revealed.
In time, all points converge, hope’s strength re-steeled.
But to earn final peace at the universe’s endless refrain,
We must see all in nothingness... before we start again."

This speaks so true and deep by my own personnal expérience ❤

This is the exact opposite of the place I am at currently... It's a sales environment and it tends to come with a whole lot of distrustful coworkers and bosses. I come ine, do my job, follow the rules, help my coworkers out, and I get cheated every chance someone gets... Man, I wish I knew what would help me feel more secure at work. I've been itching to move on and also have no idea where to go.

Amazing Simon!!

trust means u've stopped growing and settled for a non perspective future

I think I've seen Simon's videos in years past.. but holy F,. it speaks to me right now in my career situation like it never has before. Ugh. Amazing.

👏👏

Thank you very much for continuing to create awareness in relation to this topic, which is very much needed; and I hope more of those so-called leaders by Tittle can watch this video.

I listen to this message on a regular basis to keep me on track with my business and team!

How do we create an environment in which our people can work at their natural best? 🙌 When you feel valued by leadership you are much happier and willing to add your own value to the team to make it better as well. 💛 This video is a great reminder that our words and how we treat others matters when it comes to both increasing the overall morale and productivity of the team, and also in creating and fostering an environment that promotes creativity, enrichment, growth and success.💛 Loved the example you used in this video definitely helped to drive your point home in a clear and impactful way.✨

Leadership is a lifestyle

Leadership to me it is the capacity of build trust and safeness to the team, for them achieve the goals!

You are the best! Thank you to be a biggest part of my mentally about leadership. I have practiced what iam learning reading your books and listening your videos. Today I am a good environment creator. WORKS!

Fantastic...but now companies will begin to substitute workers with AI. Problem solved for them: no training, no need for compassion, no worries and more importantly: cheap. It's already happening. And it's our fault. As an example, since he talks about the barista at the 4 seasons, if you sub that batista with a funky looking espresso machine where you put a coin in, people will still drink it. The art that goes into making an espresso, or cappuccino, is not known or even cared by the average person. And another job will disappear, thanks to corporate greed and to our laziness and our acceptance of mediocrity.

I wish I could have Simon as leader just for a week.
Even he probably has no idea how to do any of my work, I'm sure I would learn more from him than I learned in the past six years from my current narcissistic leader who seems to love to play one worker off against another one, loves to devalue and bash other people for no good reason and threatens you dismiss you when you don't follow whatever he says even what he wants is against the law and can put you in jail for up to 5 years.

Only in God we trust.
I knew the feel of so sad to be betrayed by our team.

Very well said. Best sentence: Leaders are not responsible for the results, they are responsible for the people, who are responsible for the results.
Especially in larger organizations that is missing. But what chance do you have as a „low employee“ to change that, to improve things? Except from leaving and looking for another job in another company … and ending up with the same broken structure.

Awesome 🙌

So inspiring. Thank you very much, Simon.

❤ I love my job but trusting teams are missing. School as an organization is missing the mark! Working with leaders who fail to create that environment create clicks, division and unsatisfied employees. Yes no safe feeling, no inspiration nor fulfillment. Preach Simon Sinek.

Amazing! Spot on.

This story you tell in 696969 Times 🤣😵

This is one of the reasons why big organisation don't want loyal employees.
To hide the weak management and the inexistent HR 😊
Nice speech
So true
So inspiring

I set myself a reminder to check in with my team at least once a week after watching this video! Thank you for the help & inspiration to grow & be better

I've watch this and similar cuts so many time, and will continue to do so. Wish the "leaders" who think they do no wrong would watch and internalize this.


Finally I wish they would realize that to build a trusting team it does not start with firing anyone, except maybe themselves.
