In this local government podcast, Michael Harris, Henry County GA Tax Commissioner shares the good, bad and the ugly regarding trust on local government teams.  

  • "Taking sides" removes the focus from the goal and lowers trust
  • Leaderships' often-changing priorities damage trust
  • Asking your team members opinion on important topics lets them know their voice is valued, which builds trust
  • Giving others freedom and autonomy within structure can exponentially grow trust 
  • Engaging your team in “break-the-mold” planning sessions can build trust
