A lot has been written about how psychological safety leads to high performing teams.

A related characteristic I haven’t seen as much written about is trust. In fact, faith may be a better word than trust.

This is when you have absolute faith that a team member will handle a problem or problem area such that you don’t have to worry about it.

A key characteristic of high performing teams I’ve seen is when everyone has faith in the competence and ability of their peers.

It’s a great feeling.
