Hey friend! I'd love to make sure you only get newsletters from me that you care about. Would you mind clicking real quick on the option that best describes you?

  • “I am most interested in improving teamwork at my company/organization.”

  • “I am most interested in helping my org/team get better at storytelling.”

  • “I am most interested in improving my own work and thinking.”

  • “I’m interested in anything Shane writes about.” (aww)

Thank you! This will be hugely helpful to me—and to your fellow readers.

That was the burning question. Now here's the good stuff:

Last week, someone asked me how I might update Dream Teams in light of lessons learnt during COVID. I’ve been thinking about that question a lot, and I think I might boil the answer down to 3 charts, which I'd love to share with you:

Chart 1: Want People To Trust You? Prove You'll Treat Them Benevolently

(When things go awry, you know someone who's benevolent has your back even if your interests diverge.)

Chart 2: Psychological Safety Only Exists When Everyone Is Convinced They'll Be Treated Benevolently By Everyone Else In The Group

(This explains why social media can be so toxic...)

Chart 3: Good Boundaries Keep Teams Healthy (And Benevolent Teammates Don't Exploit Them)

image

These charts are the What. The How, of course, is the part that makes all the difference.

Make a great day!

Shane

P.S. If you are interested in digging deep into how to build trust as a leader, I'd be honored if you checked out my speaking page, or my teamwork courses at Snow Academy!
