EP. 01: THE "T" IN TEAMWORK IS FOR TRUST Trust among your team is the emotional glue that binds them together; it’s essential to producing true confidence in each other. There are three factors that create trust within a team: Consistency – People will trust you if, time after time, they see you responding in a consistent and reasonable manner. You also need to be readable, in the sense that they need to know where you are coming from in your decisions and responses. Loyalty – Defend members of your team when they’re criticized and then check the facts later in private, always assuming the best until there is concrete evidence to the contrary. Delegation – When you delegate to your team the power to make decisions, you’re essentially telling them: “I trust you!” People trust leaders who trust them. QUOTABLE QUOTES When you're consistent and you know someone, you know their heart, you can stand with them in the middle of those failures. - Tyler HoferClick To Tweet DOWNLOAD TRANSCRIPT Grab your reading glasses and download the PDF here. READ THE TRANSCRIPT Mingo Palacios: So Tyler, why don't you take our viewers through what eight points that represent the word teamwork. Tell us what it all is going to like encompass and then why don't you take us into the first point. Tyler Hofer: Okay. Yeah. You said there's eight points and it's an acronym that strategically spells out the word... Mingo Palacios: Teamwork. Tyler Hofer: Teamwork. And as I kick this off, we're going to be starting with the "T". My name's Tyler. Mingo Palacios: Seemed appropriate. Tyler Hofer: Perfect. So "T" stands for trust. And we're going to talk a little bit about how trust plays a part as a value in building this team spirit, this team mentality here at Torrey Pines. And so it starts with trust. And I love that we tie a scripture passage into each one of these points and the passage of scripture that ties into this idea of trust comes out of the book of Philippians when Paul is actually writing to Timothy. I believe he's in prison, but he's sending Timothy off to the church in Philippi saying, "I'm sending Timothy with my blessing, my trust. I'm sending him off." And how does he trust Timothy? Like, where does he get this trust? We're going to talk about that. How did he build that trust? But he trusts him so much that later on in the passage he talks about that Timothy has proven himself, over time, worthy of carrying on the work of the Gospel. So not a small task. Going into who knows what he was going into in the Church of Philippi. But there's a sense of trust that has developed there between Timothy and between Paul. Mingo Palacios: Yeah. And it's funny because it is the work of the Gospel, but I think as we observe it localized here contextualized, it could be as a leader, something that you've started and the idea of teamwork is that you have to actually literally pass it. So the observation that it's Paul's work defined by the Gospel, he's having to trust somebody else with that work now. Right? Tyler Hofer: Yeah. Mingo Palacios: And that is kind of the core value that the church and the ministry that we all serve alongside of. It's not the power work of a few, but it really is intended to be a collective whole that we share. And that's the value of teamwork. So, what builds trust? Tyler Hofer: What builds trust? Well, let's start with consistency. I think that's the first thing is spending time together with people, that consistency of having leaders or volunteers show up on a regular basis and getting to know their story because really that's the only ...
