One of our Trust Alliance members was assisting a leadership team in assessing why a certain division was underperforming. We worked with them to run our simple one minute AIM Trust Audit for both the leadership team and the division employees. Take a look at the results. The first chart is leadership (38 respondents) and the second is the division employees. (108 respondents).
A relatively wide gap existed between the leadership team’s perception of the behaviors undermining trust compared to the employee’s perception. These results are quite common in our assessments.
How do you think the leadership team responded when provided with this data?
What would you advise them to do next?
