Answer the following question:
1. It makes sense that you have trustworthy people in your organization to have trust,
but what do you do if you have customers that abuse and mishandle your
trustworthy employees?
Answer:
The very first job of a leader is to inspire trust. Trust is the single most essential
element to our ability to deliver extraordinary results in an enduring way. Trust
leads to high-performance because it enables an organization to work as it should;
it’s the first defense against dysfunction and the first step towards delivering better
outcomes. As we work to continuously improve our leadership, we are inspired by
the thought leadership of others who also revere building trust as a critical mission.
Fire the customers! I know of an extremely prominent branch food chain in
Catbalogan City that actually writes letters to customers who, when it becomes
evident to everybody, persist in mistreating employees. They’ve actually said to the
customers they did not want their business because of how unvalued the employees
especially in food handling and sanitation. However, the better and higher solution
is to seek some third-alternative solution with good communication —always, of
course, listening first.
As what Stephen Covey said that :“Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential
ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all
relationships.”
