Just as trust is an important aspect in personal relationships, so is it in the professional setting. We choose not to trust people because one, we do not know them well enough and two, we actually know them well enough. Is the workplace becoming a place where staff are afraid of being dismissed, shamed or judged? Even if you do not see eye to eye, you need to trust your coworker, your manager, to do the right thing and to uphold work ethics. Managers can easily earn the trust of their subordinates when they limit lecturing, direct rather than command, listen rather than dictate.
