Trust is the foundation of success.

• If you are an athlete, you have to trust your teammates.
• If you are a musician, you have to trust your counterparts.
• If you are an entrepreneur, you have to trust the people you work with.

And if you’re running a company, you have to build the trust of your employees.

So many issues derive from a lack of trust.

Whether we want to admit it or not, we are emotional creatures — and we know when our “spidey-sense” tells us we are not being trusted, or we do not trust the other person.

A lack of trust can greatly impact our decision-making, and even affect the work we do.

How do you build trust?

1. Keep Your Word

The simplest and most effective way to build trust is to get in the habit of keeping your word.

If you say you’re going to read something over the weekend, read it.

If you promise to have that report done by Monday, have it done.

If you’re going to take the lead on a project, don’t let it fall by the wayside.
