It is much like building a house with stone rather than using sand.With this, your house will not only provide shelter and comfort to your familybut will also secure you and give you the assurance that it will stand theravages of time.Ifwe will not resort in building a strong foundation, the whole structure will becompromised and this may eventually lead to unexpected downfall. Trust builds asolid foundation. Armed with this, success is almost reachable. It solelydepends on your personal choice to build trust on your relationship, otherwise,you are depriving yourself. Don’t be like that little old lady who went to thegrocery store to complain to the grocer. "There's something wrong withthis flour you sold me," she said. "It's too tough. This morning Imade biscuits with it and my husband could hardly eat them."  That’s like some leaders.  “It’s not my fault!”  That breeds mistrust!People don’t care how much you know until they know howmuch you care.Is money all there is to it?  Picture this out... A couple was having aheated argument regarding the family finances. Finally the husband exclaimed.He said, "You know, if it weren't for my money, this television setwouldn't be here. And if it weren't for my money, that easy chair you'resitting in wouldn't be here. AND, if it weren't for my money, this housewouldn't be here." The wife looked at him and said, “Are you kidding? Ifit weren't for your money, I wouldn't be here!” Sad but true…Unfortunately, her motive was all wrong. To build a strongfoundation in your company, or your family, building trust is the key. A strongfoundation is not all about money.To shed light on how to establish trust.Number 1. Trust builds when you always tell the truth. Some people seem to sensationalize or exaggerateEVERYTHING. They can take the simple truth and twist it till it’sunrecognizable.Let’s look at this one old boy’s job description. Inwriting up his resume for a full-time position, an applicant described hissummer job as, Purchasing, being responsible for the accuracy of daily cashtransactions, and maintaining the morale, alertness, and well-being of theentire office staff. Actually, what he really did was go out for coffee.Always tell the truth and you’ll never have to rememberwhat you said!Number 2. Trust builds over time. This simply means that a leader sticks in there for anextended time. Relationships are built slowly and surely. Trust, like pouringany firm foundation, is a process. Clear the land.  Do a survey. Lay out positioningmarkers.  Dig and level. Pour theconcrete.  Let it harden ... over time... it cures and hardens ... so a huge building can be built on top of it.Number 3. Trust builds when you are consistent. 1. Stay consistent with your Message, stay focused. 2. Stay consistent with your Vision, you have to puton the blinders ... have tunnel vision.3. Stay consistent with your Actions.  Will your personal actions be in alignmentwith the things you’ve taught your team? Don’t say one thing and do another.Number 4. Trust builds when you are reliableAre you a person of your word? If you make an appointment, are you there on time?  Do you keep a promise?Number 5. Trust builds when you are vulnerable. Are you truthful and open about yourself? About what is really happening behind the scenes?Do your people feel tricked or duped when the whole story comesout?Number 6. Trust builds when you show dedication. When Dr. David Livingstone was working in Africa,a group of friends wrote him: "We would like to send other men to you.Have you found a good path into your area, yet?" According to a member ofhis family, Dr. Livingstone sent this message in reply: "If you have menwho will only come if they know there is a good road, I don't want them. I wantmen who will come if there is no road at all."Number 7. Trust builds when you demonstrate humility.A true leader is humble, yet convinced of his role. A trueleader is contrite when wrong, yet convinced he’s competent to continue.Life will humble you if you refuse to humble yourself.After all, this is for your personal good.One of the greatest principles I can teach you is to buildtrust. It is powerful! You will never be on the top if nobody trusts you. Butif people will put their trust on you, they will be around for a lifetime. Ateam which puts trust as its foundation will go up the ladder of successtogether compared to those created with mistrust.
