JJ Resnick discusses five ways to build trust within a team. First, team members should meet in person at the beginning of a project to get to know each other's personalities and communication styles. Second, the team should strive for the same end goal and have clearly defined roles and deliverables. Third, the manager should keep the project on track with regular communications. Fourth, the team should use collaborative software to increase transparency and accountability. Finally, team members should receive support to diversify their capabilities and learn as they work together.

2.  Team building and cultivating a powerful and united
team can only happen when there's trust between all
of you. Here are five core ways are discussed by JJ
Resnick to build trust.

3.  A small amount of interaction between dispersed co-
workers can really make a difference in relationships.
It's the self-sustaining way of maintaining rapport
over long distances. When launching a new team or
project together, be sure to meet in person at least
once. Have lunch, a few drinks and get to know each
other's personalities and communication styles. This
will prove to be invaluable later on for the project,
for team-building purposes.

4.  Make sure that you're all striving for the same end
goal. This means that you're all on the same page for
implementing the team strategy and individual input.
Avoid all possibilities of confusion early on, and
make sure that roles and deliverables for everybody
are absolutely clear. This transparency, in turn,
promotes trust and team-building between the
collective.

5.  As a manager, you can keep the project on track, with
regular email and telephone conversations.
Obviously, it's even better to have face to face
meetings where practicable. Track the project against
performance metrics.

6.  JJ Resnick says another important way to build trust
as a part of team-building practices is by having
clear and transparent ways of working together. Use
collaborative software, that shows the actions of the
team members and the progress of the project.

7.  Showing everybody how they are tracking is one easy
way to boost productivity. People thrive on keeping
up with the other members of the team. This
transparency also fosters trust between people. When
the project is visible in this way, any obstacles or
issues along with way can be resolved in a collective
manner. By creating accountability in this way, you
can build trust between team members.

8.  Make sure that in addition to the team members
understanding their individual roles, they also have
enough support to diversify their capabilities, and
learn as they go. This will benefit them as
individuals, and the team as a whole. Rarely do
people understand everything about a task all at
once. So it's important to nurture knowledge and
support professional growth.

9.  By following these key steps by JJ Resnick, you can
build a cohesive, strong and formidable team with a
high level of trust and camaraderie between
individuals.
