How do I know if somebody trusts me or not?

And I go back to the definition, which is the willingness to be vulnerable.

And so how can their employees make themselves vulnerable to them?

And then do they, right?

Do they tell them what their real development needs are?

Do they push back against ideas they don't think are gonna work?

Do they speak up in meetings?

Do they try new things?

Are they willing to make mistakes and take risks?

Who hears about the bad news first, right?

Is it the boss or are you the last one to hear?

Those are all ways we can understand if people trust us or not.

And, you know, I'm getting this question often from leaders who say, I want people to be in the building.

More often, not just for monitoring purposes, but because I think it's important for the culture.

And they're right.

Some level of collaboration is facilitated by us being together.

Right.

You and I, if we were sitting in the same room, would have the chance to observe different things about each other.

Mm-hmm.

to have a side conversation after the session to just connect as human beings, right?
