Are You Building Trust Inside Your Organization?

Are you involved, in an ongoing way, with each constituency in your organization?

Can you name and discuss the operational and cultural differences between the various groups under your corporate umbrella?

When you're talking to members of two or more teams at the same time, are you using a language that everyone understands?

Do you check in with each group regularly?

Do you have an agreed-upon conflict resolution mechanism?

Does the conflict resolution mechanism contain an agreed-upon escalation process?

Do the members of each team understand how other teams add value to their work?

Do you make it a point to publicize the value that one team adds to the work of the other teams, and to the organization at large?

Do you actively help others work across teams, departments, and offices?

Do you have people from each team to whom you can turn for an objective assessment of all of the above?
