They dive into what it takes to build trust in leadership and teams, exploring why there’s often a disconnect between leaders and employees. Charles shares practical advice on transparency, the importance of psychological safety, and how admitting “I don’t know” can strengthen trust. Whether you're a seasoned leader or just starting out, this conversation is packed with insights to help you build stronger, more effective teams.
