Like building a house, as a team leader, you have to build a firm foundation for your team. The starting point is communication, which will help to create psychological safety and a space for strong relationships. Alignment will be attainable as each member will know and understand their strengths and roles within the team, leading to execution on goals. When every team member feels like a valuable member of the team and brings their best, the highest levels of capacity and performance can be reached.

Dan Frey of GiANT Southeast outlines and discusses this Maximizing Team Performance tool to give you an understanding of how to create this type of synergy. Dan mentioned his "Creative" Voice. The importance of learning your Voice and the Voices of those on your team is vital to establish the communication, trust and relationships necessary to build a healhy, high performing team.

Your Team or entire organization can take the Team Performance Assessment to get a baseline of how your team is functioning in each of these five components: communication, relationships, alignment, execution and capacity. Sign up for a GiANT OS Pro account HERE to get access to this assessment and others.

On this episode, we are in a part 2 discussion with Skot Waldron about Influence and the concept of how to establish trust. Check out these tools as Tracy and Skot unpack these concepts.

This idea of being aware to observe your surroundings and watching and listening to the person on the other side of you is important when establishing trust. When you do, you can pick up on clues as to what a person needs from you. This will allow you to see what is most important to them. Is it Character, Chemistry, Competency or Credibility?

This is not manipulation. This is understanding others so you can bend and adjust to meet them where they are so that you can have a healthy relationship with them. Skot says, Influence is "I'm for you. Manipulation is "I'm for myself". Don't be a manipulator.

Three questions to ask to ask yourself in terms of walls of self-preservation:
1. What am I afraid of losing

2. What am I trying to hide?

3. What am I trying to prove?

What walls do you need to be sure to come down yourself in order to establish trust with those around you.
