Building Trust

Teamwork

Keep In Mind

Command vs. Encourage

Don’t just tell or command people what you want them to do. Motivate them to want to do the job. Motivation not only generates enthusiasm for the work, but also creates a desire to excel and achieve high levels of performance.

This is a sure way to lose trust among the team. If you favor certain employees and give them information first, or if you talk badly about an employee in front of another, it immediately lowers your credibility and diminishes your trust with the employee. It is imperative to keep your integrity and professionalism in all situations.

Inconsistency

Employees can lose trust in supervisors who act and speak inconsistently. Supervisors also cause confusion when they give different directions or create contradictory rules under similar circumstances.
"Trust is the highest form of human motivation. It brings out the very best in people."
