In short, more than any other asset, trust is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/what-is-the-key-to-success-in-life\/\">the key to success<\/a>. Covey explains <strong>that the benefits of trust begin within you and radiate outwards<\/strong> <strong>as waves of trust.<\/strong> We\u2019ll briefly examine each wave of trust.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wave-one-trust-yourself\"><strong>Wave One: Trust Yourself&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want other people to trust you, you first need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-trust-yourself\/\">trust yourself<\/a>. According to Covey, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-trust\/\">self-trust<\/a> is a function of harmony between your principles, your motives, your capabilities, and your track record. Essentially, self-trust comes from behaving in a way that reflects your values. <strong>Any dissonance between <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/how-to-become-the-person-you-want-to-be-2\/\">the person you want to be<\/a> and your behavior can erode your self-trust.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wave Two: Interpersonal Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you\u2019ve worked on the four building blocks of trust within yourself, the harmony between your nature and your proficiency will be clear to those around you. <strong>If you\u2019re a trustworthy person, you consistently demonstrate your values, and people notice<\/strong>. <strong>This consistency builds trust because people know what to expect from you. <\/strong>On the other hand, Covey notes that disrupting this consistency with a violation of your nature (stealing, lying, cheating, and so on) is the fastest way to lose someone\u2019s trust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wave Three: Team Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Groups of people\u2014such as families, school classes, businesses, and so on\u2014function best when trust is high between members. Covey notes that too often, people only think about the importance of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/team-trust\/\">team trust<\/a> when they notice the symptoms of its absence. He highlights the following symptoms of low team trust:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Political Tactics.<\/strong> When group trust is low, people often talk behind each other\u2019s backs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/status-competition\/\">compete for status<\/a>, and question each other\u2019s principles and motivations. Time and energy spent here detract from productivity and group culture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Rules and Red Tape.<\/strong> Covey notes that organizations often try to make up for low group trust with extensive rulebooks, elaborate systems of checks and balances, and redundancy in operations. But <strong>no amount of rules can make up for a lack of trust<\/strong>. In fact, if you try to replace trust with rules, you can incur trust taxes in efficiency, productivity, and group culture because the constraints stifle creativity and ingenuity and can also make people feel resentful and defensive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wave Four: Reputation<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The reputation wave encompasses the way your organization is viewed by the rest of the world. Just as an individual gains others\u2019 trust by consistently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/self-integrity\/\">acting with integrity<\/a>, Covey explains that <strong>people are more likely to trust an organization when they see alignment between its nature (mission statement, values, and so on) and its track record.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Wave Five: Collective Trust<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The final wave of trust is collective trust. Trust is integral to a functioning society, claims Covey. Yet modern society is changing so quickly that knowing when and how to extend trust can be difficult. For example, thanks to technology, much of society operates on a global scale. Companies can hire people to work as a team from all corners of the world. Consumers can go online and conduct extensive research before choosing where to spend their money, with exponentially more options. But as our personal and professional waves grow larger, relationships can feel more and more impersonal. <strong>Therefore, people gravitate towards organizations and individuals that demonstrate their trustworthiness.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are Stephen Covey&#8217;s five waves of trust?
