How many times have you seen this? Mostly, people that cross their fingers behind their back are lying and saying I am saying one thing but I plan on doing something else.
Trust is such a vital component within the team dynamic. It takes years to build trust and ensure that a team can work together through trusting relationships. However, what can sometimes take years to build, can be broken in less than 5 seconds. Most people don’t 1. Know how to trust others and 2. How to be trustworthy.
So what does it take to trust others and be trusted? It is as simple as doing as you are saying you will. Often times on the playground, children promise not to tell someone something or to keep such a big secret. In the work place it can be as simple as working well with people and delivering on a team project the way that it was intended for you to. How about in a business deal; someone does not keep up their end of the contract or agreement?
There are so many examples of how people have lost trust in a simple disagreement. So, what does it take to build trust? Are you developing trusting relationships in what you say, do and express to others? What would people say about you as to whether or not you are a trustworthy person? Is that one attribute that people would use to describe you?
If not, think about how you treat others, what you say and do to others and especially, how others perceive you in how you conduct business.
