Q:

How do you build trust with a team you’re working with? What approaches you might take?

Answer 1

Work with team over time. Trust isn’t something established quickly, it can be quickly lost but not so easily gained.

Start with those already in trusted positions e.g. PO/SM and then work from there to influence the rest of the team.

Work with the team. Spend time with people listening and observing.

Default by trusting people up front and I often find they return it.

Be transparent and visible, be vulnerable.

Take the heat for other’s mistakes and protect team.
