Other Added - Building Trust in Your Business Relationships - 10 Steps

1. Keep Your Promises
   If you can't keep a promise, then don't make it in the first place - it is a big negative emotion being let down in this way.

2. Never Tell Lies
   Why would you? And if you have to, it's much, much more about you. Your people will really lose faith in you fast.

3. Keep Confidences
   Sometimes people will tell you things that they don't want broadcast - they need you to hear them sometimes. But keep it to yourself. Do not be the instigator of gossip and rumour.

4. Communicate as Fully as Possible
   Keep as little from your people as you can. Communicate as openly as possible. Sometimes you have to hold some information back - it happens, but think really carefully about it.

5. Have No Favourites
   Treat all of your people equally and show no favourites. I know this is tough - I found it tough, but it needs to be right. Have agreed principles and standards that everyone works to - sorry, but no exceptions.

6. Challenge the Behaviour - Not the Person
   People make mistakes, do things wrong and need to be told. It's the thing they did, not the person they are. "You're useless", is not a good way to build trust, but, "That wasn't what I would expect of you usually, tell me more about what happened", works better. Machiavelli: The Prince - Acquisition Strategy
   The British food giant Tesco chooses its foreign markets based on the similarity of culture of the foreign market to that of its present markets. The company calls it psychic distance from the parent market. The factors comprising in the psychic distance are (Jody Evans, 2006) – Economic environment, legal and political environment, business practices, language and market structure. As per thearth can businesses develop, survive and above all hang onto their best people if they are seen to be untrustworthy?
   
   It's horrible.
   
   There is an article below which talks a little about 'Rapport Building', but to supplement that, here are Ten Steps to help you build trust with your people.

In another article, I told the story of Julie’s Mansion, a wonderful restaurant I was studying as a young hospitality school student. I mentioned that Julie (Jules F., the owner) was an eccentric- it is a big negative emotion being let down in this way.

   16. Follow Through
       If you say you are going to do something. Do it! Your people will love that you do what you say (or apologise at least if you find you can't). And it sets a great example.

   17. Listen Attentively
       There's a whole piece about this, but safe to say if you don't pay attention to people fully, they will not trust you. It's rude and it diminishes the relationship.

   18. Forgive Mistakes
       Be generous. It is a value-creating action. People hate to get things wrong - they expect a 'bollocking' (as they say!). Help them with a learning from the mistake. "What might you do next time?", is far more valuable.

   19. Don't Talk Behind Backs
       If you do this with anyone, they will always wonder what you say about them when they aren't there - and what are they saying about you - it's a bad habit.

   Building trust is vital if you, your people and your business are going to excel. Working on it is just a discipline. These points will help you.
