I prefer to work with people I trust.
I don’t trust anyone blindly.
I certainly don’t hand over the keys to my future
and walk away.
But I want to know that
when my back is turned,
they’re continuing to be professional
and to do what we agreed on.
“If you can’t trust the people
on your team,
then they shouldn’t be on your team.
You need to trust their integrity,
their judgment,
their confidence and their passion
–and you need to ensure that
they understand how much
you depend on them.”
Trust is even more important
to me
than skill or intelligence.
A smart skilled person I don’t trust
can cause complete chaos,
undoing everything I’ve worked
to achieve.
Hire, partner, delegate to people you trust.
