Trust is an important binding factor for any relationship.
We make a judgement to trust someone or not basing on several factors. A couple of the most factors are: the consistency of the person’s action and the motives & intentions of the person.
Therefore, trust is a decision we make.
To trust someone takes time. It’s not easy to make such a decision.
Once a trust is violated. It is difficult to rebuild it.
However, distrust is not a bad things for many occasions.
You don’t need to trust all your board members, you need to challenge them for the best of the company.
When you have conservation of trust towards to some clients, you get to do due-diligent checks on them to reduce risks.
Distrust is also a decision.
We make decisions daily from our best judgement. Trust or distrust are among them.
