What to do after trust in leadership is broken in the workplace.

 

Trust isn’t lost in loud moments. It fades when feedback is ignored or flattery replaces honest praise.


Trust is the invisible thread that holds great teams together. But what do you do when that thread frays?


In this week’s blog, I share 3 ways to rebuild trust and psychological safety, even after a well-intentioned misstep.


✅ Acknowledge what didn’t land right
✅ Give professional, not personal praise
✅ Build safe, structured feedback channels that people actually use


Because safety is built in the everyday moments. And if we’re not intentional, we may be accidentally eroding trust without realizing it.

If your top performers are disengaging, if your team isn’t speaking up, if execution has slowed, this article might explain why.
