Building and Earning Trust
This course will be held November 11, 2026, from 9am-4pm at the School of Government.
This course is open to both professional and elected officials.
Trust is integral to developing high performing teams and personal well-being in the workplace. However, genuine trust can be challenging to build and easy to lose with colleagues, supervisors, and direct reports. How can managers and leaders in the public sector more effectively build and earn trust in their organizations? This practical workshop will enable participants to:
· Better understand the components of trust
· Recognize differences in how others bestow trust
· Strengthen strategies for earning and maintaining trust
· Repair broken trust
· Create environments that enable others to be more trustworthy
This practical workshop is applicable to all public professionals seeking to contribute to and lead more effective teams. Completion of the Fundamental Supervisory Practices course is recommended but not required for participation in this course.
