Performance vs Trust 📺
While doing some work for the US Navy SEAL, Simon Sinek, author, and speaker, was curious to know how the Navy selected who gets to join the elite SEAL Team 6. To answer that question, they drew him a graph of Trust vs Performance like in the picture accompanying this article.
Performance was defined as their skills and knowledge on the battlefield – fighting, shooting, endurance, etc.
Trust was defined as how they are outside of the battlefield – integrity, support for others, respect, etc.
And here’s how the selections are made …
Two candidates are obvious
💥 the best candidates are the ones in the top right quadrant(A), which is high performance + high trust
💥 the worst candidates are the ones in the bottom left quadrant(C), which is low performance + low trust.
Now, the question is, where would the next best choices be from? After a series of mistakes in their selection here’s their conclusion.
They would rather pick candidates who are in the higher trust range regardless of their performance level. They realized that Performance could be taught and improved upon. Trust can only be earned and is a much more essential ingredient for successful teamwork.
Trust among team members will foster the following:
· Increased productivity
· Improved morale
· Greater achievement as a collective team rather than individuals
· Reduced discussions and decision-making as members trust the judgment and expertise of their colleagues
With trust being a very valuable commodity in a team, how then as a leader, do you create trust in your team?

Perspective 🧠
"One of the most valuable skills in life is being able to see another person's perspective.
If you're going to someone's house, think about how it might feel to be the host. If you're creating a product, spend as much time as possible thinking like the customer. If you're calling customer service, think about how it might feel to be on the other end of the conversation.
The more clearly you understand the viewpoint of your spouse or customer or coworker, the better positioned you are to find a solution."
