Delightful Dissent - Ep. 15 - We damage trust when we challenge other's actions?
With Adrian Ashton
Recorded live at 01:00 PM on Thursday 25 February 2021
Trust is vital to good working relationships. Challenging people damages the trust we need to work well together. But what if leaving things unchallenged does even more harm? What if there are ways to challenge people which create rather than erode trust?
In this episode of Delightful Dissent I’ll be speaking to Adrian Ashton about the assumption “we damage trust when we challenge other’s actions”. We’ll be exploring the relationship between trust, conflict and change. We’ll share our own approaches for challenging people in a positive way.
