Skills Sprint : Break Silos & Build Trust

Wednesday, September 4, 2024 • Duration 06:21

We hear complaints about favouritism, silos and politics across business frequently. Yet, few are able to solve these issues

Reciprocal mentoring could be a powerful tool to help.

This episode summarises the conversation with Gilly Shapiro who is helping companies to set up and manage this process.

The idea is simple. Connect people across boundaries such as department, location, hierarchy or status and encourage them to work together, mentoring each other.

The results are excellent and help create trust and build understanding across previously misunderstood relationships

Break Silos, Build Trust and Build Capability

Wednesday, August 28, 2024 • Duration 50:47

Mentoring is a popular system to pass knowledge down through the business, but it is one way and can be seen as old fashioned.

Gilly Shapiro is pioneering a system of reciprocal mentoring, a system where both partners are both mentor and mentee.

She explains how it is done and how with her gentle guidance they have seen it break down business silos and increase trust across the business.

It could be a tool that you can use, if you are struggling to increase connection across your organisation and to break down hierarchy and departmental barriers.
