Six ways to build trust
Today in 7 Habits I learned about ways to build trust. There are six main ways.
One of them is to understand others. By understanding them or just seeking to understand them, they will appreciate you more. Also, you will understand that their wants and needs might not be the same as yours. They might not like ice cream, so you would realize that maybe taking them out for ice cream isn't the best idea. This way, you will prevent awkward situations when you suddenly realize that he or she is a vegetarian and probably would not be able to eat much at the steakhouse where you have reserved a table for the evening.
Another of them is to keep your promises. If you keep your promises, people will see you as trustworthy and will trust you more. On the other hand, if you do not keep your promises, people will see you as untrustworthy and might not trust you with anything in the future, and might even stop being your friend.
I think that these six ways to build or lose trust are very powerful, and should be taken into account more than they currently are.
