Symmetrical and balanced trust levels between team members are important to foster a positive team climate. Trust must be reciprocal, with everyone trusting and being trusted equally. A lack of trust among team members can lead to conflicts and lack of teamwork, and a lack of trust in the supervisor can lead to a lack of engagement and commitment from team members. Options A, B, D, and E do not promote a climate of trust within a team.
