Success is all about consistency. The same is true when managing teams. The majority of team members need structure, clears goals and consistent expectations to enable them to consistently perform well and to enjoy their job.
Why consistency is key at work – consistent actions create clear expectations, certainty, and trust. The power of consistency helps team members get better at their roles and delivers higher team performance as everyone know what to expect and how to deliver against those expectations.
When the manager’s actions behaviours and decisions are aligned with the key goals of the team, the manager reinforces expectations and the importance of the team direction. This is how consistency builds confidence in a team.
Master the art of consistency in people management with 5 steps I try to use when increasing team performance and building higher performing teams.
The first step is using your values as reference points to harness the power of consistency in leadership. Doing so keeps your decisions, actions and behaviours in line with the goals you have agreed with the team.
Second, communicate a clear vision and repeatedly communicate it. The messaging consistency is key.
Third, for how to be consistent, always check alignment between your actions and decisions and the direction of the team and its goals.
Fourth, the power of being consistent with your behaviour as a manager is huge and helps team performance significantly.
Finally, to improve your people management skills, keep practicing, adjusting what you do and repeating. Practice will consistently improve your skills. That is why consistency is key in building strong management skills just like any skill.

Gaining Employee Trust – How to Build Trust with a Team

Gaining employee trust - working out how to build trust with a team – is a key step to building and improving team performance. Without trust, delivering on all the other responsibilities of a manager become so much harder. I share 7 actions for how to build trust with your team.
Winning team trust is most easily done while being genuine, while doing your best to help and support team members reach team goals. Start by understanding there are two types of trust most people look for. The steps to gain the trust of your team should keep both in mind.
Winning employee trust should start with listening. Ask for the team’s input, ideas and solutions. When you get them, choose the appropriate ones and act – put them into practice. Taking action is a great start to gaining staff trust.
Encourage trust with your team by empowering them. Let them do their jobs. Extent trust to earn trust back.
Winning the teams trust at work by being open and transparent. This holds you accountable in the same way as they are being held accountable. Plus it gives the employees more opportunity to be autonomous and contribute to solutions.
Gain the trust of a team by demonstrating consistency of action. This create psychological safety with employees – they know what to expect from you in a range of situations.
Lead by example when building trust in a team. Live the same rules that you are asking your team to live by. Show the team how to behave and what you expect of them.
There is no better way to winning the teams trust – that I know – than working hard in service of the team. Help, support, coach, remove problems - anything that will fairly help the team reach its goals and support team members.
Build trust with employees is easy when you have a trustworthy mindset and management approach. Look after your team, protect your team and develop your team. Work to make it as easy as possible for them to do a great job.
