Do you find yourself continually needing to rebuild the trust that you've built with your people?
Hi, this is Grant Herbert, Emotional Intelligence Speaker and Trainer of the Year and Master Coach Trainer, and today?I want to continue our conversation around trust by helping you to identify the Trust Breakers.
Last week, we took a look at the things that we could do to build trust, the trust makers. So today, we want to switch gears and want to have a look at the behaviours that you could be doing right now that are roadblocks to you building trust.
Here are the key things to avoid when we're working with our people.
1. Failing to deliver on commitments.
2. Withholding information.
3. Betraying a confidence.
4. Blaming others for your mistakes.
5. Taking credit for other people's work.
6. Micromanaging.
Now we've looked at the trust makers and the trust breakers. So it's a balance now of making sure that we understand both of those.

The thing with trust is there's a trust tank, a reservoir, and there needs to be way more trust makers to keep the trust to go against even one of those trust breakers.
So, making sure that you understand the list, you have a look at it, you work with it on yourself and pick something that could be happening in your behaviour that's breaking trust.
Make sure that you have conversations with your team when you feel like there's a lack of trust.
Ask?“why.”
Allow them to tell you, and then use that feedback loop that I've taught you before to make sure that the feedback is not something that you take on personally, you take it on as something that's going to help you to grow so that you can help the team and be a better leader for them as well.
Well, that's it for me for another week. I hope you enjoyed having a look at trust.
What did you learn? What did you notice? What would you like some more help on? Make sure that you reach out and that you connect. Share this with others. Share it with your team and together you can raise the level of trust.
In high trust relationships, more gets done. There's less wasted energy in not trusting people and together we get the results that we want to get.
I'll see you then.
