Scott Bradbury resources - Trust in teams and Managing with integrity
Trust is the most-quoted hallmark of high-performing teams. How team members work together, how they communicate and the way they value each other’s contribution to the team underpin how it functions. The nine-minute podcast from Scott Bradbury called Trust in Teams shares insights into why trust is so important in top-performing teams and how to look for signs to indicate whether trust is absent or present. You can find this resource on the intranet.
Displaying integrity establishes respect. Your honesty, dependability and ethical approach are revealed by the way you manage challenging situations. If you uphold high moral standards your team, and those around you, will follow your lead. This skills challenge from Scott Bradbury called Managing With Integrity allows you to assess your professional integrity using a range of workplace scenarios. You can find this resource on the intranet.
Reminder: Organisational Development has a range of digital learning resources on a variety of workplace issues available from Scott Bradbury. You can find these on their dedicated intranet page.
Please note that not all the videos referenced in the skills challenges are available in the current Scott Bradbury subscription. But users can still undertake the main skills challenge within each.

The LGIU team, now including Paolo, is keen to connect with member councils to share plans for autumn content and hear what topics they should cover - this is a great opportunity for our authority to help shape Scotland-focused LGIU programmes. If you have any thoughts on this, please contact Toby Renouf.
