Trust and Building Trust!

I don’t know about you but I know what I have to do in order for me to become a valuable contributor to the organization in which I am a part, or a productive member of a society in which I am obligated to be a loyal member.

Trust is a crucial ingredient for everything we do. Without trust or the lack of it, transparency will not work. Without trust or the lack of trust, your true feelings, your integrity, and your honesty will be used against you. When trust is not part of the organizational culture, all organizations will fail as everyone will keep all the information and all their feelings to themselves.
