How to build/sustain a Team?
 “To build trusting relationships, we need to
communicate with the intent to learn from others, not
control them.
 Trust is the glue that makes effective collaboration and
teamwork possible.
 Without trust, people become competitive or defensive,
and communication is distorted and unreliable.”
A Team Leader can’t do it alone…you must involve all
members of your team to reach SUCCESS!!!
