Yesterday at lunch my colleague made a statement I hear rather frequently.
“It takes years to build trust but it can be destroyed in a second.”
I don’t agree.
A person with high integrity, a leader with outstanding character, an organization that has committed the time to build a trust bank account will not have trust destroyed as quickly as those who haven’t.
Yes, trust building takes time. In the long run it’s worth it. Your next misstep (and we all make them) may not be the one that brings down the house.
Why not start today?
