Trust Across Team Lines

Trust within your team isn't enough — cross-functional results depend on trust between teams. And that's exactly where it breaks. Competing priorities, unclear ownership, and resource conflicts erode inter-team trust even when individual relationships are fine. Build credibility across organizational boundaries, repair inter-team breakdowns, and create the conditions where groups that don't report to you still choose to collaborate — shared commitments, escalation norms, and accountability for the boundaries that matter most.
