Trust is formative in how you do your business. Your people will reflect your behaviours with them and at the end of the day, your customers and clients will be on the receiving end of the values of your business or organisation.Where to start.There are some simple things you can do with your people to ensure that they start to trust you. As a letter from Mike Emmott of the Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development in the UK says, in April 2005's UK Management Today says:-
"Our surveys show that only one in four employees trust senior management to look after their interests"Is that not appalling? How on earth can businesses develop, survive and above all hang onto their best people if they are seen to be untrustworthy?It's horrible.There is an article below which talks a little about 'Rapport Building', but to supplement that, here are Ten Tips to help you build trust with your people.Keep Your PromisesIf you can't keep a promise, then don't make it in the first place - it is a big negative emotion being let down in this way.Never Tell LiesWhy would you? And if you have to, it's much, much more about you. Your people will really lose faith in you fast.Keep ConfidencesSometimes people will tell you things that they don't want broadcast - they need you to hear them sometimes. But keep it to yourself. Do not be the instigator of gossip and rumour.Communicate as Fully as PossibleKeep as little from your people as you can. Communicate as openly as possible. Sometimes you have to hold some information back - it happens, but think really carefully about it.Have No FavouritesTreat all of your people equally and show no favourites. I know this is tough - I found it tough, but it needs to be right. Have agreed principles and standards that everyone works to - sorry, but no exceptions.Challenge the Behaviour - Not the PersonPeople make mistakes, do things wrong and need to be told. It's the thing they did, not the person they are. "You're useless", is not a good way to build trust, but, "That wasn't what I would expect of you usually, tell me more about what happened", works better.Follow ThroughIf you say you are going to do something. Do it! Your people will love that you do what you say (or apologise at least if you find you can't). And it sets a great example.Listen AttentivelyThere's a whole piece about this, but safe to say if you don't pay attention to people fully, they will not trust you. It's rude and it diminishes the relationship.Forgive MistakesBe generous. It is a value-creating action. People hate to get things wrong - they expect a 'bollocking' (as they say!). Help them with a learning from the mistake. "What might you do next time?", is far more valuable.Don't Talk Behind BacksIf you do this with anyone, they will always wonder what you say about them when they aren't there - and what are they saying about you - it's a bad habit.Building trust is vital if you, your people and your business are going to excel. Working on it is just a discipline. These points will help you.
