In this session of the Leadership Accelerator Series, Ralph Rajs utilizes the foundational concept of the "five dysfunctions pyramid" to discuss building trust within teams. He references a Harvard Business Review article that provides a detailed examination of trust, emphasizing three main elements necessary for its development: authenticity, logic, and empathy. Rajs explains that authenticity involves being genuine with one's team, which fosters trust. Logic pertains to the team's belief in a leader's competence and judgment, and empathy refers to genuinely caring about team members as individuals. He suggests that leaders assess their strengths and weaknesses in these areas through self-examination and feedback from their team to enhance trust-building capabilities.
