“TRUST TAKES YEARS TO ESTABLISH AND SECONDS TO DESTROY” HOW LONG DOES DISTRUST LAST?
From companies who have been embezzled, spouses who have been betrayed, children who have been abused to citizens who have been misled destroying trust only takes moments.
Years of employment, years of marriage, years of peace, would all seem like indicators everything is OK. But the moment a lie comes to light everything changes.
The first time the news breaks of corruption in a political campaign, of the misuse of funds by a school administration or the abusive tactics of law enforcement there becomes a sense of distrust. Now every choice, every decision, every announcement is questioned for cause, intent, suspicious outcomes and the questions linger.
It’s not like the scenes change allows each decision to stand alone either, it happens that each choice is measured now against the known violation of trust and considered only through that lense.
How then do we rebuild that trust?
What measures need to be taken to demonstrate trust worthiness?
How do we learn to trust again?
These questions are the subject of many books and Ted Talks so I will encourage you to invest some time in researching them if you find yourself on the outside of the proverbial circle of trust or the trust tree.
I do want to caution as a leader of any level, trust is a currency you cannot afford to squander. It is harder to amass than bitcoin and easier to lose than bets on a roulette wheel.
Guard your trust!! Integrity is a hard thing to regain!!
