"If You Can Not Earn Trust of Your People, Nothing Else Will Matter." Peter Drucker
"Leadership is an achievement of trust." Peter Drucker
Trust is the most elusive concept in the modern world.
Trust is not a word.
Trust is how you treat people, it is your attitude, it is your character.
To get that trust we have to
- make people's problems our own
- empower and trust them
- allow them to voice their opinions without repercussions
- never deceive them
- never disbelieve them
- never punish for mistakes
- take real risks on their behalf
- be brave and not run for cover when they need us most
"Oleg, I saw your post about trusting people to work from home. My boss does not trust me to do it. Can you write something in one of your blogs that I can show him ?"
If your boss does not trust his people, it does not matter where they work. Where trust is missing, the productivity is terrible. And with trust, productivity is great, no matter where people work - numerous studies have shown this.
To earn your trust, he first must learn to trust you.
Would you agree with this ?

7 年That is very true. Some managers feel as if they can treat you any kind of way because their in a position of authority. It's a collective effort, and the employees are a significant factor in the success of businesses.

7 年I totally agree. With a management approach of producing measurement and process standardizing tools to help it's employees then uses the its reporting results to discipline micro manage and basically babysit employees is an environment of distrust. When an employee is constantly visited and called by management to explain what happened is also a sign of a zero trust environment in any any industry. Providing new employee's with extensive basic training is a sign of a management culture that cares about its success rather than throwing bodies at a problem and hope some survive.
