Trust and Transparency can be very vague things. So chasing them can be difficult. This presentation reviews Charles Felton's work on dividing trust into 4 clear competenciesand how we can polish them to grow our careers.
Trust is the bedrock of self-organizing Agile teams. Trust allows Agile teams to communicate quickly and respond rapidly to changes as they emerge. Without sufficient trust, team members can waste effort and energy by hoarding information, forming cliques, dodging blame, and covering their tracks. A climate of trust provides the foundation for effective team processes, adaptability, and high performance. By paying attention to membership, interactions, credibility, respect, and behaviors, team leaders can stimulate and accelerate trustworthiness and trust. In this session, Diana Larsen describes ways to accelerate trust-building within your team, including a working definition of professional trust, a model for team interactions that leverages trust, ways to recognize when a team has “trust issues,” and skills that help teams develop greater trust.

Self-confidence is the belief in one's own abilities, skills, and judgment. It is an essential quality that contributes to personal and professional success. Individuals with high self-confidence are more likely to take on challenges, persevere in the face of obstacles, and pursue their goals with determination.
This is a set of ideas and methodology based on Peter Block's work that supports the creation of a culture of chosen accountability and commitment. It is premised on partnership and personal choice, and radically different from traditional skinnerian approach to change.

MEAN?
Commitment as defined by Merriam Webster
Dictionary:

a promise to be loyal to someone or something
the attitude of someone who works very hard to do or
support something
Others:
The state or quality of being dedicated to a cause, activity
A pledge or undertaking
An engagement or obligation that restricts freedom of action
4. Being asked to “commit” to the delivery of a list of specific
stories rather than a goal
Someone else estimating your work for you
“A commitment is something that I offer you. A mandate is
something you impose on me. Not the same thing.” Kent Beck
(4/2/2014)
5. Commitment ignites action
Commitment without action is not really commitment
Commitment is persistence with a purpose.
Commit to what is necessary to achieve goals.
Commitments are things that you say you will do and people
TRUST you to do
Commitment is knowing what you want to achieve, developing
a plan to do it and following through with actions.
When you keep or exceed commitments, you build a foundation
for success and future growth.

person is committed to.”

those commitments you are willing to make.
Requires shared intention, responsibility, ownership and
commitment to action
Can be depended on

When a team has broken down and is working in silos, own needs
start to supersede team needs
Team loses
Users lose
Trust + Conflict + Commitment + Accountability + Results
15. Commitment requires a clear understanding of what needs to
be done and a willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed.
Accountability provides a sense of importance, and it is
rewarding to see that our actions make a difference.
Commitment plus Accountability ~ Formula for unstoppable
success.
Editor's Notes
Do assessment and discuss results
What does that mean “a promise”?
Freedom of Action – Context of Agile – Team has made a commitment
Someone setting your delivery date – We know that in business we will always have delivery dates. Ones that are reachable and ones that aren’t. It is your responsibility to respond with what you can deliver by dates.
The estimate will be received as your commitment
Let’s redefine commitment
Changing habits
Without action – trying or experimenting. Not bad, but you need to commit
Making a commitment is one thing. Managing the communication around a commitment is another thing entirely. This is where most of us drop the ball!
Being brave enough to reveal bad news (early) can help build TRUST
People complain because they can
Definition of Insanity
Listening to a complaint is fine, but there should be a suggestion or action after the complaint
Take the affirmations in front of you. Take a few minutes to fill some out that resonate with you or write your own. Make a commitment to yourself to recite these daily…
Accountability and Commitment are 2 pillars for change and moving forward
