Trust Matters

It's been nearly 7 weeks since my last posting here. It needs a refresher.

Do you sometimes feel or think that people don't trust you? What makes them not trust you? On the flip side, who should you trust? And why should you trust them?

There are 4 components to trust:

Character:

1. Integrity - Do you actually do what you say and not just say what you do?
   
2. Motive - Are you looking out for other people instead of just yourself?

Competence:

1. Capability - Are you capable of doing the things you're supposed to do?
   
2. Result - Do you have a good track record of the past things you've done?

People will trust you when they see you as a genuine person with the ability to make good things happen.
