A buddy was telling me
how relieved she was
that the US would be
respected and trust
once more
by other countries.
Ummm…
respect and trust
is not an instant thing.
The US has betrayed
almost all of their allies
over the past 4 years.
Hell, the US
stole PPE from Canada,
their neighbor.
It will take years,
maybe decades,
to rebuild that trust
and even then,
the relationships will never
be the same.
That holds true
in business also.
Relationships with partners,
vendors, employees,
customers
once damaged
MIGHT be rebuilt
but they will never be
the same.
Trust once gone
is gone forever.
Think carefully
before you destroy trust.
