Sean Glaze explains why competence matters less than you'd think for building trust. Teams will give people time to develop skills if they have the other two legs of trust in place.
The reality is, when you think about the 3 legs of trust, competence is actually the least important of the 3. And I tell you that because I want you to think about your own experience. Yes, competence is something that we consider in extending trust to others. But you've probably on your team been given the grace to be bad long enough to get better in the role that you currently have. We are actually willing to trust people to grow into that competency if the other 2 areas of trust exist.
