Mending Broken Trust

<p>Trust is like a mirror. You can fix it when it's broken but you can still the cracks in the reflection. If you built trust with your employees, then there is a chance you can break it as well. But how can you regain that trust if you break it?</p> <p>Today, I talk about how trust affects the performance of your employees. I explain why trust is so important, and provide an example of how easy it is to break that trust. I share some of the steps you can take to rebuild your employee's trust. I also note the different types of trust you have in the workplace.</p> <p align="center"><em>“</em><em>We have to train others to take our positions instead of seeing them as our competition.
