Trust is the essence of a working relationship as it is in a marriage and of course in society. We have to trust people to be able to continue with our lives in a simple and smooth way without looking over our shoulders all the time.
I am surprised that it is such an issue today. For me its always been the essence of all working relationships and as an HR director who has worked in many countries this is at the core of all business.
The fact that it has taken center stage tells me that it is seriously not where it should and thus we all talk about it and now see it as the new solution to all our business problems especially when it comes to employee engagement.
But it is not new and we are to blame for lettign it go. A mentor I had many years ago, Paulo Nucci always said if you promise something then you have to deliver it even if not perfectly,this is trust and respect fo rthe other person. My father always said your word is your bond. Perhaps it has become old fashioned but it is true. People trust you because you respect then and always try to do the right thing as promised.
Just do it, and keep on doing it.
I am glad you published this even if as a result of the current cycle of crisis.
