Trust is not what you think it is. It is not absolute or universal. Trust is relative. The same behavior that would cause one person to trust you could cause another person to distrust you. The level of trust someone has in you is the product of their trustfulness (their willingness to trust other people) and your trustworthiness. There is almost (I said ALMOST) nothing you can do about the former, and everything you can do about the latter. Because of that, you must evaluate your own trustworthiness one relationship at a time, separately. Odds are, though, that the same behaviors that are holding you back from being more trusted in one relationship are holding you back from being more trusted in other relationships. Welcome to The Trust Show. I’m your host, Yoram Solomon, a top 10 trust expert and researcher, the author of the book of trust, and the creator of the Trust Habits® workshop that helps people and organizations form new habits that change old behaviors, build trust, and transform organizations. In this educational podcast, I will challenge you to think differently about trust, through the 8 laws of trust and the 6 components of trustworthiness. I will share my own stories, experiences of others, trust research, and sometimes, reflect on a news item. And through those, I will show you how to build trust, be trusted, and know who to trust. Because the answer to this question will have the biggest impact on your personal and professional, success or failure: can you be trusted?

The first episode I recorded for The Trust Show podcast was done almost three years ago and was titled “Does (Team) Size Matter (for TRUST)?”. In this episode, I revisited the topic of trust in teams because I get asked about it a lot. In this episode, I’ll talk about the importance of trust in a team. I’ll talk about team size. I’ll talk about building trust in a team and what to do when you have team members who cannot be trusted, at least not by the other members of the team.

Today’s podcast episode delves into the intriguing world of bi-directional trust. Dispelling the myth of symmetrical and reciprocal trust, it reveals that trust is, in fact, asymmetrical. The 4th Law of trust highlights this fascinating phenomenon. Throughout the episode, I will explore why trust doesn’t always follow a straightforward give-and-take pattern. Furthermore, this episode sheds light on the implications of this asymmetry, especially when fostering trust within a team.

There is a “shortcut” that some people use to become “Amazon bestselling authors.” This practice is problematic and, in my opinion—unethical. I don’t believe those who do it are intentionally trying to mislead. I think they are caught by the “everybody is doing it” or misguided by someone who doesn’t care about the unethical consequences.
There is a lot of sarcasm in my tone of voice in this episode, and I come across as preachy. If you are someone who claims to be a bestselling author based on the process described in this episode, you may want to skip this episode altogether.
Either way, I didn’t record this episode to hurt anyone’s feelings.

Symmetry (including fairness) is a component of the “who you are” component group in my Relative Trust™ model. It is the situational component. It’s a given, but it causes us to trust (or distrust) people in a relationship simply based on where they are relative to us. To trust someone, you must be on the same side of “the wall.” There has to be an equal contribution level (from you and them to the organization) or distribution (from the organization to you and them). There has to be reciprocity between the two of you. This episode discusses the component of symmetry (and fairness) and its effect on trust.

When you fly, you must trust. As a passenger, you must trust the pilot, the plane, and the people who designed, built, maintained, tested, and certified the plane. You must trust God, the weather, birds, and other things outside human control. If you are the pilot, you must also trust yourself and the plane’s instruments. In this episode, I will apply my relative trust models and the laws of trust to three aviation crashes. I will use NTSB reports and demonstrate how trust (or distrust) played a role in each.

You thought ChatGPT was wild? Wait until you hear this episode. Initially, it includes a conversation I held with an artificial intelligence assistant. Not only will her tone of voice blow you away, but she actually has an accent… This episode will discuss the technology that enables artificial intelligence to be human-like. It will continue and discuss deep fake of both voice and image. While AI can be used for good, there are examples of how it’s used for evil, specifically for fraud and identity theft. Given the 8th law of trust (trust = trustworthiness x trustfulness) and the dramatic increase in AI fraus, we are less trustful. As a result, you can only compensate for that through increased trustworthiness. This also leads to some findings from my Trust Premium® research.

After one of my keynotes, someone approached me and asked me for advice. He described a toxic work environment within his team that he couldn’t stand anymore. Should he try to fix it with the team myself? Should he speak to his boss? Should he just leave? What should he do?
So, I gave him advice, and decided to share it with you here. No names. Just the advice. And, as you can imagine, the word TRUST came in several times.
So, how do you leave a toxic work environment while keeping your trust?
