Maintaining Trust

Maintaining trust is one of the most basic pre-requisites for having a good relationship.

From my experience this comes from:

  • Clearly setting expectations of what is needed/expected in a role.

  • Making sure that the other person always feels that you have their best interests in mind - that you have their back

  • Showing empathy for the other person regardless of hierarchy.

Personally I have found that the best work and results come from working with people when there is a high level of trust established and the worst results come from when trust does not exist.
