Coaching a relatively new leader on how to build trust with a team. One of key areas to work on is always having the teams back.
What this means is that if you are representing the team you promote their work, telling the stories of success. When someone fails to meet your expectations the only conversation is with them. And they know that.
Over sharing those coaching conversations in the wrong context with certain leaders can having a lasting impact that can negatively influence the 2 up leaders perception of the individual. In the worst case this can be carried by the 2 up leader for years and regurgitated in conversations years after the incident occurred.
This can limit the career of the team member and if the individual finds out you have destroyed their trust.
The only exception is performance or conduct management.
Protect your team and have their back
