Trust is defined as the belief that even though you have no control over another person’s behavior toward you, that person will behave in a way that benefits you.
High trust within a team permits members to direct attention to performing their respective tasks, with little time or concern devoted to questioning the actions or possible motives of others.
High trust within a team also permits members to exchange roles (e.g., having a more talented team member perform a particular task) without fear of embarrassment or having a member be regarded as a slacker.
