Trust... it can be so hard to gain and so easy to lose. As we grow in mind and in wisdom it seems to be a good lesson to learn. Without trust people can not work together it is like a lower branch of Maslov's hierarchy of needs. You need the trust in another that they will be true and will not falter in their commitment to you. Max De Pree writes of a covenant that needs to be developed between employer and employee, and I can see that.
An employee needs to believe an employer will reward hard work and dedication with true honest intentions. Employees are not commodities they are assets and need nurturing and appreciation. With this they can do great things, amazing things. Without it, they can do little. They will be so preoccupied by looking for another job or occupation where they can grow and flourish.
