Insights from Jason Harris
Watch our full conversation here: Build "No Fail Trust" Within Teams
"That SEAL team that needed to be evacuated out of a hostile environment, they didn't say, 'Just trust me,' or, 'We just trust you.' They understood that I had the training, a high-performance level of training (...) and therefore they knew that they could trust me because of that."
- Jason Harris"In the heat of combat (...) we have to know that someone's gonna execute their job. We have to not be worried about are they gonna forget how to do the mission? (...) And that comes with what we do on a daily basis, and it starts with the foundations of training."
- Jason Harris"That communication leads to commitment, then it leads to a level of mutual accountability, and then it gets us to trust."
- Jason Harris"Even though you told me I'm empowered and even though you told me you trust me, you actually didn't set me up to truly be empowered and execute the mission because I don't have the training and I don't have the processes that support that training to then truly be empowered to execute the mission at the highest levels that I'm capable of."
- Jason Harris"Implicitly, inherently know, that you're gonna do the job, (...) and it starts with that training. It starts with that process, and it starts with us working together. And it starts with being able to communicate, right?"
- Jason Harris"It was a level of trust that we'd built, and he knew that I wasn't gonna hurt him. He knew that I was gonna take care of him. I trusted him, he trusted me, and it was just an amazing thing."
