The term “conductivity” is used to describe the power or ability to transmit: it is the opposite of “resistance.” How can trust be made to flow freely through a team or an organization? How can the free flow of trust overcome resistance to organizational leadership? How can you personally build such trust among your peers, colleagues, and direct reports by what you say and what you do? Trust is built by applying key principles of communication: by delivering simple, honest messages; by inspiring confidence in difficult times, and by sincerely seeking to reach the hearts of listeners.
As an attendee, you will learn more about:
- Communication that destroys trust
- How trust can be conducted throughout a lab organization
- Five strategies for building and maintaining free flowing communications
