What Does a Team Need to See Before It Believes a Leader Has Changed? | How to Address Team Silence| AI For Executives

Send us Fan Mail What does a team need to see before it believes a leader has changed?  I'm Sahar Andrade, MB.BCh, Neuroleadership Coach and Forbes Coaches Council member.  My read is that a team goes by what it sees more than by what it hears. In one 2006 experiment with 262 students, broken trust came back after consistent trustworthy actions.  A promise sped the early recovery, and an apology alone made no significant difference. That was a lab game, not a workplace.  The step from that finding to a team and its leader is my interpretation as a coach: say the change once, then show it in the moments the team is watching. In this episode: what the weeks after a leader's promise look like from both sides of the table, why the announcement gets overrated, what two trust game studies show and do not show, and one practice for three moments: the first disagreement, the first unwelcome news, and the first hard day. Next episode asks: how does a leader stay honest when they know more than they can say?
