This week on Monday Matters, Jen Schwanke and Will Parker take some time to talk about building trust through communication. Specifically, they focus on how school leaders can build trust with other leaders on their team. In leadership teams, there is a high need for trust and clarity among team members because they are handling a lot of hard situations together. They talk about the importance of having an expectation conversation with your team members and emphasize that it should be an ongoing, continuous conversation. Through conversations about role expectations and figuring out how to handle disagreements among team members, a trusting relationship can be established. School leaders should also have conversations with their supervisors about feedback, and ask for clarity between suggestions and non-negotiables.

Trust between team members is essential to the success of that leadership team. This episode was inspired by a newsletter from Jen Schwanke. If you would like to read that post, you can find it here. Listen in to hear the full conversation!
