Episode 11: NCO Business: Trust as the Foundation of Team Excellence

Trusting your team -- it may sound obvious, but it is essential to effective collaboration. In this episode of Veteran Led, John Berry shares stories from his experience interacting with NCO’s on the military base, and how they taught him the significance of trust within your unit. He’ll explain how this sense of trust is crucial when working alongside subordinate leaders and supervisors in work settings. By fostering an environment of trust and empowering individuals to take ownership of their roles, teams can achieve greater productivity, cohesion, and synergy.
