Abstract

Paying attention to and nurturing the relationship at play in any exchange is important, but building trust in relationships is especially critical when it comes to creating a climate that is conducive to creativity and so to innovation. You also must be prepared to deal with any sparks that may fly as a result of creative friction when ideas are being generated. In this chapter, you will find out that: Trust is an essential ingredient of a climate that is conducive to innovation, where people actively want to generate, express, exchange and build upon ideas. Developing your natural ability to establish good rapport with others when you interact is one of the most important steps in building trust. If you are operating from a basis of trust with the other person, and already have a good rapport with them, the act of challenging their thinking is both easier for you to do and easier for them to accept.
