SummaryAli McLeod of Saks Fifth Avenue joins Daniel to talk about trust, transparency, and professional fluency and their roles in your relationship with your creative teams.  We discuss earning the trust of your team, building a culture of trusting each other, and how curiosity can help earn trust and drive professional growth. Key TakeawaysA key part of earning trust is to understand your team and its roles. Shadow your teams and learn about their roles if you don't have experience with their role.Spend the time learning the process inside and out. Not just what is being done, but how and why it's being done.Keep up with your process, but be careful not to get lost in the weeds.Listening to your team and helping remove even minor barriers, can help build trust and encourage growth.Leaders should keep open office hours, discussion is always on the table.Jumping levels should not be scary, the studio environment should be collaborative. Any person of any level should feel able to collaborate with anyone else.Read the book Radical Candor by Kim Scott, and then practice it in your studio.Links & ResourcesAli McLeod on LinkedInSaks Fifth Avenue on LinkedInCreative Jobs at SaksReading ListRadical Candor - Kim Scott - Build confidence in having difficult conversationsTrust Rules - Bob Lee - Basic guidance how to build and gain trust with a team or colleagueOne Minute Manager - Ken Blanchard - Advice on feedback and coachingLeaders Eat Last - Simon Sinek - Trust building and leadership through real life examplesCulture Code - Daniel Coyle - Guidance on how to build culture at your companyCreditsProduced by: Creative Force - creativeforce.ioEdited by: Calvin Lanz Sound - clsound.netHosted by: Daniel Jester - danieltjester.com
