Trust is the foundation for any relationship, be it personal or professional. It is necessary for a relationship to survive and last longer.
Trust is the necessary glue for a successful marriage. It is the tie that binds two individuals in a relationship. Suspicions, misunderstandings and arguments surface when the level of trust comes down.
Likewise, trust in friendship is not just important, it is essential. When you are ready to share your happiness, grief, fear, secrets with another person who is not related to you, trust plays a major role.
I remember this quote – When you completely trust a person without any doubt, you will automatically receive one of the two things – a friend for life or a lesson for life. True, indeed.
This holds true in a professional relationship as well – you need to trust your colleagues, your team, and your manager. The client needs to trust your firm and your team in doing business. If your client loses trust on you – everything you do will be looked upon suspicion. They will ask for data, metrics as a proof of anything you say. Any problem you cause will be escalated immediately.
Trust and loyalty play an important part in the defense or armed forces. Just imagine what would happen if a soldier in an army does not trust his or her colleagues.
Building trust is not that easy. It is a slow process, takes a great deal of time and effort to get there. As one starts slowing trusting another person, they will confide and believe what the other person says. They would count on that person for being there for them. Which is good as well as bad depending on the character of that person.
Having said that, it just takes a few minutes or seconds to break a trust. When that happens, the whole relationship crumbles. The other person would always doubt one's intentions and be suspicious of all activities. Rebuilding that trust needs more commitment, honesty, patience and time.
