Increase trust in your team

For whom?

This session is for you if you want to increase mutual trust in your team. Trust is the basis of effective cooperation. It is essential to encourage a healthy conflict in your team, in your department or in your organisation. It increases the chance that you or your colleague, who has a different opinion, will dare to speak out. You also increase the chances of asking for and offering help in your team. Ultimately, it also benefits the results of your team and organisation.

Learning objectives

Increased mutual trust in the team. This is due to the personal openness and vulnerability shown by the team members when telling their personal stories.

Better mutual understanding. Team members better understand where someone's behaviour is coming from. As a result, they look at their colleague with ``softer eyes``.

Increasing the chance of a healthy conflict through increased trust and mutual understanding. Team members dare to speak out more towards each other.

Approach

A tangible, life-size timeline

A giant strip of paper symbolises the timeline of your team or organisation from “then” to now. On it, you and your colleagues write down and visualise the moments that shaped the team. Think of the formation, organisational changes, colleagues who have come and gone. These and other important moments influence the current culture in your team, in your department and in your organisation. Next, you and your colleagues mention the two most positive and negative (personal) moments. You share and discuss these with each other. In this way, you get a better understanding of your behaviour, attitude, sentiment and that of your colleagues. This increases mutual understanding and trust between you and your colleagues.
