Hi {{first_name}},
While it may seem overwhelming, leadership roles present unique opportunities to make a difference. The trust placed in leaders is an honor.
Building trust is a process for most team leaders and I'm here to help guide and support you as you develop meaningful relationships with your team. The first step in building trust is establishing reliable communication. Get in front of team members and learn what they expect from you.
It's important to keep in mind that humility and vulnerability are important qualities that help us connect with others. A great way to gain the trust of your team is to show that you're human. Assure them early in the relationship-building process you are accessible and approachable.
Actively listening to employees makes you more relatable, while being consistent and transparent nurtures confidence in your leadership and actions. Most importantly, be yourself. A facade will wear down with time and break down trust with employees. If you show up and offer your genuine self to your team from day one, they will trust they can rely on you.
My door is always open to address your questions and concerns. Please do not hesitate to reach out any time on your journey to building lasting and invaluable trust with your team.
Thank you,

How to build trust in the workplace as a manager
Trust is the most important ingredient in an effective working relationship between a manager and their team. Research shows that employees who are less trusted by their manager are less productive and more likely to leave an organization. While employees who do feel trusted are higher performers and put in more effort at work.
Building trust with employees requires authenticity, transparency, and approachability in leadership. Managers can work toward earning and keeping employee trust by being reliable, and consistent, and keeping lines of communication open at all times.
It also helps for managers to be relatable which requires some vulnerability. However, the best managers find a balance between being too familiar and too authoritative. Being knowledgeable but open to feedback, professional but fun, and having the organizational skills to oversee a project but not afraid to get their hands dirty to help their team succeed are a few ways managers can build trust in the workplace.
