Summary Excerpt Details

This paper explores the benefits of building trust in teams. There is a good reason why trust is an often discussed topic in personnel management. In his book "Trust-based Leadership – Führen durch Vertrauen" from 2017, Martin Schmiedel explains the relationship between leader and employee with the analogy of two rock climbers: one that climbs a wall and another one that secures him.

Schmiedel states that the supervisor is the one on the ground, giving the employee the required safety to climb the mountain. Moreover, he is able to maintain an overview and lead the way to the top. The employee on the other hand trusts him so that he can take risks to get to the summit.

The metaphor illustrates a beneficial effect of trust: leaders who embrace their responsibility give their team security, which helps them to perform to their very best. You can conclude that trust and security are fundamental for employees to do a good job. If one of these components is missing, a team will not be as successful.
