Winston Grey’s Leaders Work to Maintain a Culture of Trust
“Here at Winston Grey, we are committed to helping our associates thrive,” declared Greyson. “We do so by remaining transparent and defining goals clearly. Our people know exactly what to expect and how to go about achieving great things. To me, great leadership is about being available and building trust on a daily basis.”
Greyson and the rest of the Winston Grey executive team are highly visible and accessible for their team members. The director believes maintaining open lines of communication is only possible if she and her fellow leaders are easy to reach and willing to listen to team members’ opinions and concerns. As she put it, “Our people know they can come to us with anything, and I think that makes them feel appreciated. It’s hard to expect professionals to be motivated if they feel cut off from management, and we work hard to maintain trust throughout every level of our organization."
Company leaders also seek feedback from their team members, because they want to know where they can improve. Greyson explained, “We can’t demand constant improvement from our people if we aren’t willing to work toward the same goal. I think it’s important for leaders to acknowledge that they don’t have all the answers. I’m comfortable admitting my weaknesses and addressing them, and I want our team to feel the same way.”
