Marc Haine explains how trust spreads like a ripple effect through your workplace. He warns against gossip and argues that acting with character stops negative behavior and builds trust from the ground up.
There are so many aspects to trust, so many ways that it can go wrong. It can absolutely feel like a ripple. It starts with you. Regardless of your role, whatever you do touches other people. Then, they go and they touch other people and so on. Trust is like that. You're in a lunchroom and somebody gossips to you or has some sort of a negative feedback on somebody within your environment. And they whisper it to you. You have a choice. You can take that negative gossip and negative thing and you could spread it, or you can be the barrier that stops it in its tracks. Trust builds on your strength of character to stand up for what's right and what you believe in.
