Time to Build Up That Confidence

trust & confidence Feb 21, 2022

Over the past several posts I’ve shared how you can take a real look at your level of confidence in your team members.  Ultimately, confidence is the foundation of every relationship and therefore, every collaborative team.  Fostering this confidence in your team can happen when each member knows they can fully believe in one another’s level of competence, openness, reliability, fairness and caring.

If you haven’t done so, take a look at our Confidence Inventory.  Now it’s time to identify ways to increase that level of confidence you have in your team.  Use the checklist below to identify ways to build others’ confidence in you, your confidence in others, or the confidence among your team. The ideas have been categorized by Confidence Factor so you can zero in on your trouble spots. Get started immediately to build confidence and create collaboration in your workplace.

To build COMPETENCE, try:

¨ Competency and skill development

¨ Link individual efforts to the bigger picture

¨ Identify external threats and challenges

¨ Coaching and mentoring

¨ Praise and encouragement
