When leaders can exercise and promote trust in a workforce, the internal rivalries, competition, and conflict (which normally shatter organizations) actually decrease dramatically.
When cooperation and trust thrive, people no longer have to protect themselves from each other. Instead, they pull together.
And get this: when the people within organizations can begin to see each other as trusted allies, there is even a chemical (oxytocin) released inside of us that encourages and promotes bonding. This chemical is the backbone of relational bonding and boosts our sense of trust and safety within our teams and organizations.
