“I feel I cant trust him”
“Trust him with what?”
“Anything!”
This was a frustrated rant from a client about his employee.
Trust is a strong word. And it can produce powerful emotional responses
Once broken it is also hard to fix.
But the word trust can mean different things.
> There is the trust of someone’s competency.
> And then there is the trust of their character.
> There is also the trust of intent.
And these are all entirely different from each other.
When we lose trust it is important to ask where is trust deficit is coming from.
And assuming we want to rebuild our trust all of these will require different approaches.
When was the last time you felt that your trust was broken? What type of trust was it?
