Trusting people could be a hard thing to do when you only see them in school. For our eighth grade retreat, we went to Pine Lake Challenge Course in Bristol, Connecticut. A group was faced with different challenges that could only be completed by working as a team. The challenges that the groups faced required teamwork, and trust in one another. By the end of the day, I felt that I had more trust in my classmates. One of the challenges that my group faced was very difficult. There was a platform and it acted like a seesaw; it would tip to one side if force was applied to that side. The challenge required us to get the entire group onto the platform without it touching the ground, and the platform had to stay balanced for five seconds.

Rendon was discussing a teacher’s class that was in the meeting and reviewing the teachers data, noticed there were many students who had dropped on their last STAR reading test. She informed the teacher that she was concerned and ask her what she could do to help in the classroom. I was shocked that the new teacher wasn’t offended or embarrassed, and accepted the help. I then realized there was a great amount of trust that the teachers had with Mrs. Rendon. The teachers felt supported and understood when Mrs. Rendon asked what the teachers needed, she was genuinely concerned and wanted to help. Research on group processes in schools has shown that leaders who trust and believe in others and model these traits accomplish far more and develop devoted followers (Martin, Danzig, Wright, Flanary, & Brown,

Trust- should be slowly built up across team members, through developing confidence in each other’s competence and reliability. Trusting individuals are willing to share their knowledge and skills without fear of being diminished or exploited.
Trust is one of many components of life and it is shown through our actions and how we carry ourselves. We as human beings learn to trust each other by the words we say to one another and the actions we show to others. There are many lessons we can learn through the short but powerful story by Langston Hughes “Thank You. Ma’am”. Throughout the story there are several lessons and traits that the reader can interpret such as thinking twice before you execute the plan that you had in mind, sympathy, charisma, and even giving second chances. But more importantly, there is one lesson that specifically plays a huge role in the story itself and in American culture today, and that is trust others. There are several ways these lessons and interpretations can be put into real life situations and how they can affect us today in real time.
Another large part of Melinda’s life is her journey on learning how to trust, and being able to know who is trustworthy. Some of the people that need your trust the most are the people you are around the most like your teachers, parents, family, and friends. A large part of trust
You may fall off of a stage while having a group of people catch you or you may choose to just trust one person to catch you. The endless amount of ‘what ifs’ run through your head as you give your trust in someone. Along the way of gaining someone’s trust, a relationship is built between each
Trust is sometimes hard to accomplish. Many people do not believe in trusting someone to help them, or to tell each other their problems. Some thinks that is better holding their problems to their salve than to tell someone what is happening. To trust someone may take time because we have to know each other first and then see if it is a good person to consider to tell them our worries and struggles we had or have in our lives. In the book Swan Song, there were groups that where together by trust to help each other survive. Groups like Macklin’s Army, Swan Song, and Sister’s group needed to trust and help each other to save their lives. Working in groups can cause problems because everyone has different
In order for interpersonal trustworthiness to exist in organizations, a leader-follower relationship must first exist between the parties involved (Caldwell et al., 2010, p. 500). Once that leader-follower relationship is established, leaders have to earn trust. Leaders earn trust by their respective actions, morals and virtues. Trust is can also be based on past history. If something was done in the past which questions a leader’s values, morals or judgment, it would be unlikely that the leader would be trusted in the future. One of the most important parts of being an effective leader is building and maintaining trust. Trust can further be defined as a “multi-dimensional construct comprising different dimensions of the trustee’s attributes that the trustor evaluates” (Ingenhoff and Sommer, 2010, p. 341).
Having trust makes one fell safe and free of fear enough so that they can focus on other things.
As to earning a long-term trust, that is a very difficult question. To build long-term trust one would have to be there all the time and make the people feel secure and that you are there for them. Which can be done but maybe not in the kind of timeframe they would be thinking. A police officer can be
Trust is perhaps the most important element of an effective and efficient educational environment. I think creating a climate of trust requires us to explore two questions "how can we build trust as leaders in education, and how can we avoid losing it?" In order to build a truly
Trust is a value that was very hard for me to learn. I was always afraid that someone was going to hurt me one way or another. My mother was always telling me that I should learn to trust others so that they could help me from time to time, but I never could do it. Eventually I finally learned to trust others a few years ago. I have realized that other people can do many things for you if you just trust in them. This helps me in the relationships I have with my friends. Trust doesn’t happen overnight, it takes time. I have learned that trusting certain people is worth the risk, and helps the relationships I have with them.
The “Do I Trust Others?” Assessment consists of five questions which measures an individual’s trust level for others. According to Robbins, “This instrument was designed to test your faith in people.” (Judge & Robbins, 2012). The findings essentially range on a scale from one to five, whereas an individual with little to no faith in people scored a five and individuals with more faith in people scores a one. Robbins collected the results from 4,200 students and separated them by their level of trust. After reviewing the Robbins analysis, we discovered that our score falls within the 50th percentile. People, who presumably have a lower amount of faith in others, tend to seek an education or position in the fields such as Marketing or Finance. Conversely, individuals who have a higher amount of trust in others may show interest in positions that interacting more with people, such as an instructor, social services, or the human resources field. The writer Patrick Lencioni introduced his book, The Five Dysfunctions of a Team, in which he discloses five reasons where a group might endure conflict, why, and how the group could possibly resolve an issue. The Five Dysfunctions are lack of trust, conflict, lack of interest, dismissing liability, and enabling others to be irresponsible. Lencioni also offers an alternative to the Five Dysfunctions of a Team, in which we feel could benefit a person in a leadership position. He lists the following options, “Trust one another; engage
