Why is it important to trust each other?

 

We lose more by having the habit of not trusting until we have a reason than by choosing to trust first before a reason not to trust any more shows up.

Choosing the latter, yes, would lead to unpleasant consequences when those you trust for no reason disappoints. But at least, it would leave the doors to the heart on both ends open, until the heart finds someone trustworthy enough to keep.

On the contrary, choosing not trust at all until you have a reason to trust is sure going to make you suspicious of everyone you meet at the first time. 

The suspicion could also, lay the foundation to stereotype those who don’t fit into the culture of those you call, “mind”.

Suspicion and stereotyping have caused a lot of people to lose opportunities to make great friends and find great team mates to complete them and help them realize their dreams. 

It’s not easy for people with difficult-to-trust attitude to change and move in the opposite direction. Making the transition takes time.

This period of transition would have been saved and great relationships built if one had a trusting attitude. 

Peter Drucker - This is what creates trust.

 

"The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say "I." And that's not because they have trained themselves not to say "I." They don't think "I." They think "we"; they think "team." They understand their job to be to make the team function. They accept responsibility and don't sidestep it, but "we" gets the credit. This is what creates trust, what enables you to get the task done."

Peter Drucker
