The currency for healthy relationships every leader should invest into its team daily, is trust. How can trust be built \u2014 or shattered?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

As a first-time founder and COO back in the days, unexpected team dynamics and ever-rising workload heavily weighed on me. 5 years into that startup, I burnt out.<\/span><\/p>\n

Years later and until today, I am regularly asked as a speaker on stage: \u201cHow did you get into and out of the burnout slump?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Answering this curious and crucial question marks the important moment the audience gains trust in me:<\/span><\/p>\n

I completely open up.
\n<\/span>I share what truly happened.
\n<\/span>I become vulnerable.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n

Vulnerability is no weakness at all. It\u2019s a fix to broken, suspicious relationships.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Still, there are corporate cultures and behavior dynamics of leaders towards teams that stop us from being vulnerable \u2014 as we don\u2019t feel emotionally safe to share:<\/span><\/p>\n

A leader that controls<\/strong> everything and everyone, at any time. Putting her\/his will into action \u2013 and by that killing the self-initiative, creativity and self-confidence of others as \u201cs\/he knows the best plan to succeed\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

A leader that needs her\/his ever-growing success and acknowledgement by others. S\/he pushes a team \u201cup to the summit\u201d, hyper-achieving<\/strong> along the way. The team feels used over time. Trust is shattered too, as promises made \u201cto get to the summit\u201c didn\u2019t come true.<\/span><\/p>\n

A leader that is stuck in her\/his hyper-rational<\/strong> mind and logic \u2014 running facts, numbers and figures about a problem, being unable to be present and engage. This leader doesn\u2018t feel emotionally available to a team \u2014 it doesn\u2019t feel seen. Lacking intuition, these leaders miss out on a key-ingredient for decision making as well as trust by others.<\/span><\/p>\n

\n

What do you take away on the topic of trust?
