Behaviors That Build Trust With Others

M.L. Covey, in The Speed of Trust (2006), given 13 behaviors that build trust with others.

Here they are, from pp. 127ff:

1. Talk Straight.
2. Demonstrate Respect.
3. Create Transparency.
4. Right Wrongs.
5. Show Loyalty.
6. Deliver Results.
7. Get Better.
8. Confront Reality.
9. Clarify Expectations.
10. Practice Accountability.
11. Listen First.
12. Keep Commitments.
13. Extend Trust.

I'll be exploring each of these in blogs to come.

What do you do to build or maintain trust with others?

My goal here is to bring out more skilled entrepreneurs. How am I doing? What do you think of this? Any comments?

Entrepreneurship is the life's blood of all my professional activities. It makes them go. It informs my connection strategy.

It makes Your Stop for Real Estate, my real estate referral business, go. See www.yourstopforrealestate.blogspot.com.

It powers my writing. Go to www.timswritingblog.blogspot.com for my ideas on writing and publishing and read my mystery for free at wwww.kearneymusicschoolmurders.blogspot.com or buy it from Amazon.com more cheaply than you can print it out.

It fuels my publishing enterprise, By and for Writersgo. See www.byandforwriters.blogspot.com where you can get a poem or a short story published.
