Key Takeaways

Trust is the foundation of all successful relationships, and so the level of trust we have in each other depends on our levels of confidence in that person.
Furthermore, trust is founded upon the consistency of actions. By having our standards met, and in some cases exceeded, time and again, we come to rely upon those around us, therefore establishing trust.
Above all, if we wish to develop trust, we must start with ourselves. Therefore, we must have confidence enough to set and achieve small goals.
Certainly, most performance issues are the result of a lack of clarity. If we empower people more by being clear on the goals we hope to achieve, then we build trust on both sides.

Best Moments

‘Trust is that slightly intangible element that’s so vital for healthy relationships and high performing organisations’
‘If we start with trust, then we get the best out of ourselves and others’
’Trust is an output of character and confidence’
‘Empower but don’t abdicate – and definitely don’t micro-manage’
