Strategies for Leaders to Communicate Trust

First, check in with yourself

• Reflect on a time when you felt trusted by a leader. What actions demonstrate this trust?

• How does trust from others affect your work quality and process?

• What flow to your day or week helps you feel most successful and productive?

Second, leaders foster this value by:

• Having an orientation to feedback

• Building a flexible and collaborative schedule

• Balancing work days with professional learning in the yearly calendar

• Modeling work-life balance

• Sharing your why and your vision.

• Share a substitute staffing plan
