Trust and Verify
Many times I read that Trust takes a long time to acquire and lost in an instant. But, I find Trust and Verify to far more effective and faster to establish trust, along w managing expectations.
It doesn't require you to trust your partner, since you can confirm the work is done through quality assurance.
Using the 1st law of project mgnt, the definition of leadership, and the rules of group inclusion.
1st Law of Project Mgnt says .. manage expectations .. If you do this and teach this, you will build a team that trusts its members. And. It will teach them how to communicate their expectations with others.
The definition of leadership .. guiding Intent w Integrity .. reinforces the 1st law of project mgnt by creating the norms everyone operates under. These norms.. known as the Social Contract .. stipulate how team members are expected to interact. And, if everyone is expected to manage expectations properly, then those who don't are excluded from the group.
The leader of this team is responsible for teaching these norms, maintaining the training, guiding group members through the hard convos around expectations, and culling group members who repeatedly break the norms and cause problems.
In contrast managers are responsible for measuring the groups productivity. Ex .. time to complete tasks.
From Group Inclusions, each member has a specific purpose for being in the group. Their skills may overlap, but each member may only be tasked w or 2 parts of completing the whole project. And, yes, unruly members can be swapped out, as needed or sidelined.
Members who feel threatened or weak need to address their personal self judgements, or when the groups social contract keeps being violated, will be excluded. In contrast gratitude towards other members assistance goes a long way to improving and maintaining group cohesion. This is easily achieved by maintaining small attainable goals, which produce positive events.
