Trust is like a mirror. You can fix it when it’s broken but you can still the cracks in the reflection. If you built trust with your employees, then there is a chance you can break it as well. But how can you regain that trust if you break it?
Today, I talk about how trust affects the performance of your employees. I explain why trust is so important, and provide an example of how easy it is to break that trust. I share some of the steps you can take to rebuild your employee’s trust. I also note the different types of trust you have in the workplace.
“We have to train others to take our positions instead of seeing them as our competition. Using this approach to build competence shows the team that you trust them to do just as good a job as you.”

“Trust is more like a rubber band than a mirror. It can be stretched, sometimes to its limits, and not to go back in its original stretch.”
