A Matter of Trust

Dennis Reina and Michelle Reina (Reina Trust Building Insitute )  says:

If employees don' trust leadership , organisation pay the price in the form of low engagement, high turnover and cost, loss of creativity and innovation. 20 years research indicate that most leaders think breach of trust must b sever or even scandalous; eg., Rupert Murdoch New corporation. To those leaders we say "think again". Little branches of trust over time are a big deal. Ultimately, employees pull back with holding their full energy and talent.

Why people do not trust leaders:
  • you with hold trust in others;
  • you ask much , yet fail to acknowledge effort;
  • you behave badly;
  • you don't admit your mistakes; you spin the truth;you duck people and performance issues;
  • you don walk you talk
Finally a common mistake leaders make is to assume that their position alone make them worthy's of others trust.
Nothing could be further form the truth. It is only through behavior this leaders can build trust.
