Trust is the foundation for great leadership. If your team is questioning your leadership, it is always a trust issue. They don’t trust you, your competence, your decision-making, your vision of the future or your ability to take care of them and their best interests. You need to immediately respond with sustainable strategies. It is always easier to replace the leader than the team...sooo Focus on the critical few. Lead by Example by demonstrating integrity and consistency in your words and actions. Have Open and Transparent Communication by regularly sharing information about the organization’s challenges, and successes. Show Empathy and Understanding by actively listening to (and acting on) team members’ concerns and issues.

Desde mi experiencia les recomiendo escuchar activamente sus comentarios sin interrumpir, mostrando apertura y disposición a aprender. Agradece su sinceridad y pregúntales cómo consideran que puedes mejorar, para entender sus expectativas. Evalúa la retroalimentación objetivamente y, si es necesario, realiza ajustes a tu estilo de liderazgo. Comunica los cambios que planeas implementar y da seguimiento a su impacto. Esto demuestra que valoras sus opiniones y que estás comprometido con el crecimiento, fortaleciendo la confianza y la colaboración dentro del equipo. La vulnerabilidad es importante gestionarla por el bien del equipo.

Embrace the feedback as an opportunity for growth. In my experience, the first step is to listen without defensiveness—schedule a meeting where team members can share their thoughts openly. Acknowledge their concerns and ask clarifying questions to fully understand their perspective. Reflect on their input, and be transparent about the changes you are willing (and unwilling!) to make. I found that small, visible adjustments—like improving communication or offering more autonomy—can rebuild trust. Demonstrating that you value their feedback strengthens the team dynamic.

Always encourage feedback, listen and act on it! It’s a pity there is a minimum of 125 characters, as often brevity is a benefit 😉
