Trust is a very important part of our lives and therefore learning how to be trustworthy is an art and science well investing in if you want to succeed in business.
Why?
Because the success or failure of every relationship or interaction depends on your ability to build trust, be trusted, and know who to trust.
It’s hard to live without it, but it can be difficult to build trust with others. We often hear that you need to earn someone’s trust before they will do business with you or share sensitive information with you.
If you want to be trustworthy and build a culture of innovation, there are three things you need to know.
First, trust is the basis for all human relationships.
Second, trust is dynamic it can change over time and circumstance.
And finally, if your organization wants to innovate and grow beyond expectations then you need every single person on board with trusting their colleagues.
But how do you get them there? How can they learn how to trust each other when the only thing many companies teach them today is distrust?
Also most people think of trust as something that other people have and not themselves, so how can we get more? How can we get enough for ourselves?
Dr. Yoram Solomon has spent a lot of time researching how to be trustworthy and how that forms the basis for a culture of innovation. Read on and listen to the podcast to discover powerful habits that can bring exponential growth.
