Nick Saban, Bill Cowher, Derek Jeter, and Dick Vermeil have won 15+ championships between them.

When asked what separates great teams from good ones, they all pointed to the same thing.

It's not talent or strategy - it's TRUST.

Here are 5 principles for effective trust:🧵

1: You have to show that you care
Dick Vermeil said, "The number one concept is to make sure people know you care. If you want to win over a person, you have to win over their heart."

People want to know 3 things:
• You care.
• You trust them.
• They can trust you.

2: Transparency and communication are principles of trust - Clear, open communication and transparency build the environment of trust.

It builds a foundation of credibility and honesty.

It helps people understand your actions and intentions.

3: Be consistent and reliable - It builds predictability, dependability, and trust because people know who you are and the values you stand for.

Jared Goff said, "Show up for your teammates every day."

Consistency reinforces trust in your intentions and decisions.

4: Trust is earned, not given
People don't just give you trust, you have to earn it - no matter your role.

It means demonstrating through your actions over time, that you're reliable and committed.

It's a process that requires patience and effort.

5: You have to stay true to your word - It means being a person of character.

Keep your promises and do what you say you're going to do.

You demonstrate it through your actions, decisions, and how you treat people.
