Are you open minded and ready to learn?<\/b><\/p>\n

Or do you consider yourself the smartest person in the room?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

To date, over 28% of 600+ survey respondents<\/a>\u00a0say “Openness” is lacking in their workplace.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Openness is the seventh of *12 behaviors in our Tap Into Trust (TAP) framework<\/a> having now\u00a0been accessed over 150,000 times in 16 languages.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trust Across America-Trust Around the World created The “Art” of Trust<\/a> visual “cues” to start a discussion about workplace behaviors that build and weaken stakeholder trust. Together these cues form a “Wall” of Trust to enhance learning and retention.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In building team and stakeholder trust, we describe “Openness” as follows:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

We are open and ready to learn – we can be vulnerable and not have all the answers.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Our Trust Alliance members suggest the following discussion questions to elevate notice and build workplace trust.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What are the existing or potential barriers that could prevent open, frank, and necessary conversations?<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Do we actively solicit feedback from superiors, peers, and direct reports to be sure we have the whole picture? If not, how can we improve our current feedback solicitation system?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    The “Art” of Trust\u00a0 is one of many resources designed for our Trust Action Project t<\/strong>o help leaders, teams and organizations move from trust talk to ACTION in 2021 and beyond.<\/strong><\/p>\n
