Trust in Team Dynamics

Trust is a key aspect in team dynamics. It is one of the basic emotions that brings teams together, and unfortunately it can also destroy a team if trust is lost.
 

For the first paragraph of your post, address the following bullet point (and sub-bullet points):

• Discuss a team that you have been a part of where something has happened and the trust was lost. If you have not experienced this, talk to someone who has and use their situation instead.
  
   
  • Why did the loss of trust occur?
    
     
  • Were all members involved or just select members?
    
     
  • What did leaders do to try to fix the situation?
    
     
  • Was the team able to recover?
    
     
  • What would you have done differently if you were the leader in that situation?

For the second paragraph of your post, choose one of the following bullet points.

• What are the key processes leaders or organizations consciously use to create trust?
  
   
• Since most teams do not have conscious designs for creating trust among team members, design a strategy for incorporating trust among them.
  
   
• How do group and individual emotions affect the trust-building, trust-maintaining, and trust-losing processes?
  
   
• What is the role of the socialization within an organization for enhancing trust?
  
   

The final paragraph of your post (3 to 4 sentences) should summarize the one or two main points that you are attempting to make in your post.

Provide a substantive (500–1,000 words) initial discussion post addressing each of the components as prompted. Justify your answers with examples, reasoning, and research.
