Trust - is the real wealth of a leader

TRUST... The five words like five elements of life of a leadership... Lot of times we think what is the trust... Trust is the only value which needs a mutual reaction and has mutual benefits.

If you do not know whom trust in your society or at home or at office....just imagine...life will be miserable.

Think of you do not trust the milk man...who might have mixed some thing in the milk...you will never have your coffee
Think when you flying.....you do not trust the Pilot's capability....you never fly
Think of you do not trust your boss....you leave the organization.
See the next picture....nice way described in article in ZDNet
  • If you have negative beliefs and whether the facts or positive or negative before you.. you stop trusting some body or you never trust any body
  • If you have +ve beliefs and negative facts.... you would be on the verge of trusting some body of facts turn +ve.
Same way when you do a bungee jump...you need to trust the person, the tools and his experience and skill...otherwise...you never would do that... if you notice normally this is what the trainers would put in front of you...their experience and some facts about the bungee jump.


How would you build a trust ...

Trust comes from Transparent and Open communication...Trust comes from keeping commitments.....trust comes from fair treatment with out biases...Trust comes from delegation and empowerment....creating ownership and accountability..Trust comes from sharing, developing others...and building careers.....

I can go on......but a simple example.... I used to refer to lot of my DRs..
Well we take a person to swimming pool who does not know to swim or first time to pool...
We go there...tell him about the depth of pool, dos and don'ts....and teach him how to swim...
We will observe while the person is swimming and just there to help him...and once you trust that he can swim, we just walk away....
Just correlate this what we do in a organization....what all i said above will come in front of your eyes.
Just see the pictorial diagram, down loaded from the net...

Imagine...you have people around you whom you can trust and trust you...
Your professional and personnel life would be so sweet.............
