When I did my management training, we were told (and this makes sense -- from a macro level) that team performance, cohesion, and trust are "outputs" of the work / management process, while clarity, high standards, and elimination of unnecessary BS are (along with others) the "inputs".
The idea is that trust and achievement are what emerge when an organization maintains high standards (doesn't let people get away with poor work or unethical behaviour) and an environment of clarity.
I've found that to be a useful principle in the workplace.
