Key features:
– Clarifying the two choices one always have: (1) working on a trust basis – which has to do with vulnerabilities and empowerment; and (2) working on a transactional bases – which has to do with mandating (either by giving direct instructions to others or by asking for direct instructions from others).
– This has to be done specifically per action topic or work domain.
– An easy to understand matrix to prepare your own choices on the back of an envelope
– Many illustrations, examples, self-reflection exercises and cases. Also memorable quotes and one-liners you can use in communication.
What is it? What not?
What it is?
– This is really a resource to enable you to figure out your own levels of self-confidence, before you start reaching out to others. What do you want to be trusted for? What do you want to trust others on?
– Also a key resource to use before you want to grow into sophisticated levels of delegation.
What it is not?
– Not an academic review on the psychological or social aspects of trust and self-confidence.
– Not a magic formula: by the nature of it, self-confidence and trust are things to work on and enjoy on daily.
How to make best use of it?
– Make a list of key work topics on which there are right now some conflicts, frictions or inertia.
– Add to each work piece or work stream the key persons involved.
– Then read the resource; and make a first back-of-the-envelope matrix.
– For those of you who like to work on the basis of trust most of the time: buy a copy for each of your direct reports. Share the insights, share the language. Than start growing to deeper levels of trust. And gain speed of operations in doing it.
