trust

Today, Gary and I were in a meeting with an architect and a spokesperson from the builder of our soon to be building. While going through the plans, Gary and I hit a point on design that neither of us would back down from. We continued arguing back and forth until it got a little uncomfortable for the other guys. Afterward, I wondered what their thoughts were. The cool thing is this, Gary and I can completely disagree on something and it never turns personal. The reason is because of trust. If our team doesn't feel the right to voice their opinions if they are different from mine, what good is that. Our heart is to create a culture of trust where we can wrestle and disagree with each other to find the best solution for C3. Do you have that kind of trust with those you work with?

- Afterward, we thought that would have been cool for me to have challenged Gary to an "Indian Leg Wrestling Match" right there on the spot, to decide what was done. That would have been awesome!
