The Importance of Interpersonal Trust

[Virtual Team Builder Blog]

Last week, we discussed the crucial matter of trust within a virtual environment. In particular, we explored swift trust, a phenomenon that takes places when a group of diverse individuals come to quickly trust one another because they are all working toward a common goal. We saw that swift trust tends to develop in a virtual environment where team members do not have the opportunity to build trust in a more traditional manner. We also mentioned that though swift trust is important, it is a temporary phenomenon that holds a team together until a stronger, more trusting bond can form. This week, we’ll explore exactly how virtual team members can transform their temporary bonds of trust into deeper, longer lasting, and more effective relationships. Specifically, we’ll examine ways to develop interpersonal trust.

Many professionals are turning to social media as a place of trust for their purchasing decisions and it’s no different for the IT industry. IT decision makers have a highly-regarded task of ensuring they recommend the best products and services for their organizations.
LinkedIn, Forrester Consulting, and Research Now zeroed in on these professionals to see how they utilize social media, including its effects on their purchasing decisions and how they engage with social.
According to Michael Weir, Head of Category Development for the Technology Industry at LinkedIn, “It’s no surprise that [IT decision makers] are heavy users of social networks. In fact, 85% have used at least one social network for business purposes. What’s surprising is that 73% have engaged with an IT vendor on a social network – underscoring the value of the channel for IT marketers. Even more revealing is the fact that social media is now a critical source of influence across the entire decision making process, not just during the initial research phase.”
