The exact change
"Trust is built in the smallest moments. It's in the way you greet someone in the hallway, the way you respond to a question, the way you show up on a bad day." Brene Brown, Dare to Lead [...] "In remote work, what is implicit in the office becomes explicit on the team. If you don't schedule the casual, it doesn't happen." Matt Mullenweg, Automattic [...] "Introverts are not failed extroverts. They build rapport through presence, not performance." Susan Cain, Quiet
As Brene Brown writes in Dare to Lead, trust is earned in the smallest of moments, through paying attention, listening, and small gestures of genuine care. [...] As distributed-work leaders like Matt Mullenweg have noted, remote teams have to make the casual and incidental explicit, since it will not happen on its own the way it does in an office. [...] As Susan Cain argues in Quiet, introverts are not failed extroverts; they build connection through genuine presence rather than performed extroversion.
