Recently, I had the opportunity to work on a challenging project with a team of colleagues at my job. At the start, there was some apprehension and doubt among my colleagues regarding my ability to perform my role effectively due to my lack of experience in that particular area.
To gain their trust and support, I took several actions. Firstly, I made an effort to communicate openly and transparently with my team members about my skills, knowledge, and limitations. I also actively sought feedback and input from them, showing that I valued their opinions and expertise. In addition, I made sure to follow through on all of my commitments, meet deadlines, and contribute effectively to the project.
The outcome of my actions was quite positive. Gradually, my colleagues began to see my dedication and capability, and their initial reservations turned into appreciation and trust. They started to rely on me more and include me in decision-making processes. Ultimately, we were able to successfully complete the project together, and I felt a sense of satisfaction in earning the trust and support of my colleagues.
Naturally occurring evidence of the gained trust and support from my colleagues included increased collaboration, positive feedback, and being included in future projects without hesitation.
