Trust is not only needed in personal relationships. It is also an important part of your career.

Why?

For anyone to look forward to working with you or even give you opportunities for work and third party networking, they need to be able to trust you.

How trustworthy are you?

If for instance, I work as a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) officer at an NGO and my reports always show inconsistencies, trust will become a non-factor between me and my colleagues.

However, if I always wrote reports to reflect the truth at all times, even if doing so, will implicate one or two dishonest people, I will become someone to trust, even if some people will hate me.

The thing about building trust is in the long run, even those who hate you cannot deny your trustworthy nature.

At the end of the day, you will set yourself up for more opportunities from those who work or have worked with you.

Your work ethic should include trust if you want to go far in your career, because no one wants to work with someone who is lacking integrity.

Good luck!
