Some ground rules for building trust

Some ground rules for building trust

I’ve been working with a group of people from many different organisations who have been thrown into collaborating because of the pandemic.

They have achieved a lot, but when they took some time to reflect, they were able to see tensions which were exacerbated because they didn’t know each other very well and their ‘trust cushion’ was thin. So we experimented with some ground rules during a workshop session, all designed to help build trust.
