There is a lot of talk about “the lack of trust”- in corporations, Washington D.C., Wall Street, the media, and so on. Nobody can be trusted. But how can we reverse the trend of trust lost? How do we build trust?
Have you ever had a situation where you needed someone to “have your back”, to stand up and support you when you spoke up at a meeting- but when the time came for them to cover you, to support you, they sat silent and did nothing? They left you standing alone, spinning in the wind. They were lobbying the whole time in the background for you to say something- to do something, yet when it came time for them to support you with the same conviction they lobbied you with- they folded up like a cheap chair.
It’s refreshing when someone does stand up and cover your back, isn’t it? Too bad it’s so rare. But doesn’t that give you faith in your fellow person? Think about this: Whose back are you covering? More importantly, are you willing to stand and deliver when they need your help? Building trust starts at home.
