3 Charts About Trust, and 1 Burning Question

The Snow Report is back from hiatus!

Mar 23, 2023

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)

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

Make a great day!

Shane
