KMART - High Performance Teams

Building Vulnerability- Based TRUST One of the five building blocks of a high performing team is trust - let’s take a closer look at it and how you can build it in your teams.

Strong, high-performing teams base their entire foundation on vulnerability-based trust. Common trust simply isn’t enough.

Vulnerability-based trust is a much deeper confidence that you can be vulnerable with team members and believe that you can: • take risks • ask for help • admit mistakes

Getting to know your team members will enable them to feel the vulnerability required to build trust.

• confront and hold others accountable without fear of retaliation, humiliation, or resentment.

This type of trust has to be earned and given.
