How many have issue in trusting others? How many lack trust with our government?

If you are anything like me you l have a mistrust of people because of what I went through in life. First,being abandoned my real father when I was 2 years, when my mother broke up with him after catching him with another woman. Luckily, after my mother married my step-dad when I was going on 6, he was more of a dad to me than my real father.

When I was molested by my older step-brother when I was around 8 years old, also took a toll on my lack of trust. I mean I trusted and loved him;and he hurt me. I may have forgiven him, but it doesn’t mean that I trust him.

The government may wonder why more and more people doesn’t trust them. The government had let down the American people way too much.

Now it seems that the American people also have a mistrust of our mainstream news media as well. They have lied to us so much lately.

This blog will be off the book, “The Trusted Edge.”

Trust, not money, is the currency of business and life.

As Doug Miller, president of GlobeScan said, “Trust is the single largest driver of public attitude on a whole range of issues from globalization to terrorism to the role of governments.”

Ever since 2009 at the World Economic Forum in China, world leaders got it right when they declared that our biggest crisis is a lack of trust and confidence.

We can reach across borders, but we don’t know how to be trusted by the people we find on the other side.

Trust is a requirement for strong friendships, families, and firms.

Everything of value is built on trust, from financial systems to relationships. To be trusted is a greater compliment than being love.

Without trust, influence is destroyed, leaders lose teams, people lose sales, organizations lose productivity, relationships,reputation, talented people, customer loyalty, creativity, morale, revenue, and results.

You are trusted to the degree that people believe in your ability,your consistency, your integrity, and your commitment to deliver. Do people believe in you?

It used to be a handshake was as good a contract that was binding. Times have changed though.

Trust requires time, effort, diligence, and character. It took an average of 7 months for employees to build their trust in a leader but less than half that time for them to lose it.

Deep trust is generally established over time. It can withstand adversity and is often born of personal experience.

Trust multiplies influence and impact. A lack of trust is your biggest expense.

This could be the government and mainstream news media biggest dilemma with why the American people don’t trust them anymore.

Without trust, there’s no way that any organization can sustain innovation.Because without trust,no one is willing to take the risks that innovation requires. This being proven to be a proven fact more and more lately in life.

Years ago kids were taught to say please and thank you, hoping that someday those words will come out of a thankful and kind heart.

Trust is always a risk!!! Only 38% of informed public in the U.S. trust businesses to do what is right. Only 49% of informed public globally trust businesses.

When trust was squandered, the American people were not well served. This is why we do not trust our government in Washington. A reason why they would vote for an outsider,someone who isn’t a career politicians.

Being bombarded with negative news coverage,whether accurate or exaggerated, often creates more negativity because it leaves the possibility in our minds. This is why the ratings for the news media is at an all-time low right now. You can only fool people so much before enough is enough.

People have become more skeptical than ever. Recent studies show that 80% of Americans do not trust corporate leaders. Only 50% of young Americans-aged 15 to 25-trust the government to do the right thing.

This is a major reason why most of the American people do not trust our government and career politicians in Washington. When someone who isn’t a career politician make a runs for office, they are more apt to get the vote and support from the American people instead. This is also why those in Washington are so against them because they are so corrupted with power to actually see the truth for what it is.

Some people may wonder why some doesn’t trust our government, the news media and even science after the Pandemic.

Who do you trust? Do you have a lack of trust in general or of the government and news media? Do you trust science and the medical professions?

This a big reason why things are the way it is in this country. There is a big lack of trust in America and the world today. It’s a dog eat dog world out there. It’s every man or woman for themselves.
