The most important action that a leader must take to encourage the building of trust on a team is to demonstrate vulnerability first.

find someone who can demonstrate trust, engage in conflict, commit to group decisions, hold their peers accountable, and focus on the results of the team, not their own ego.

a leader's first priority is to create an environment where others can do these things and that cannot happen if they are not having effective meetings.

As it turns out, the primary motive for most young people, and too many older ones, is the rewards that leadership brings with it. Things like notoriety, status, and power. But people who are motivated by these things won't embrace the demands of leadership when they see little or no connection between doing their duties and receiving those rewards.
