4 Strategies Strong Leaders Use to Build Trust in The Workplace

Do you struggle with accountability with your remote or hybrid teams? Don’t want to become a micromanager?

Max Azarov, co-founder and CEO of Novakid has seen success by developing his four strategies that CEOs can utilize with their own teams.  In his article Strong Leaders Use These 4 Strategies to Build Trust in Their Workplace, Max highlights the importance of building trust with your employees, regardless of the working environment.  He provides readers with some statistics from WFH Research’s 2023 study.

He understands that not everyone will return to the office and that a well-designed hybrid mix of remote and in-office works for most employees. He  also provides readers with his top 4 strategies:

1.       Building trust is the secret weapon

2.       Hiring for trust and autonomy

3.       Keeping everyone on the same page

4.       Focus on results, not busywork

Azarov, suggests measuring performance through “deadlines and expected outputs”.  It’s easy to see when people are falling behind.  Rather build trust  –  allow employees to work through problems and come up with their productive systems.

“The secret sauce to making a remote or hybrid team work

well together isn’t technology; it’s trust” ~Azarov

It’s a good read, packed full of strategies to obtain and keep great people.  Look into recruiting people who thrive with the freedom that comes from “values of trust and honesty”. Those who appreciate “freedom and responsibility” early on in their work.

A great read for executives and their teams.  I highly suggest it. Strong Leaders Use These 4 Strategies to Build Trust in Their Workplace
