Trust and betrayal are inevitable parts of life, and likewise, they are parts of careers in the workplace. What happens when you encounter betrayal and trust issues at work? Some might leave, but that option doesn’t always seem feasible. Instead, you have to work on rebuilding trust in your workplace, and that’s easier said than done. This book, written by two leading experts on the psychology of workplace trust, can lead you in the process of bringing about more trust in your workplace, whatever your station in your hierarchy is.
As with all psychology books, the authors start with you first. Each chapter begins by seeking to alleviate your own personal pain so that you can approach your group in a more objective manner. Then they talk about how to better the culture as much as possible.
Importantly, the authors discuss how to deal with the situation where betrayal is basically one-sided, where you aren’t at fault. That difficult situation requires patience and compassion because the other party usually does not acknowledge their part at first. The authors talk about how to use reflection and support as avenues to personal resolution.
I’ve witnessed highly successful, reasonable people stutter their careers for years by a lack of trust. It’s silly and wasteful, and it ultimately hurts the parties involved. Yet trust issues inevitably recur, particularly as one grows into leadership roles. This book can assist you to learn to work through those more quickly so that you don’t stutter in anger and pain. And it helps you help others do the same, too, so as to speed up productive relationships in your workplace.
