We often don't realise that the very things that are going "wrong" in our lives, the things that we know are not at their best, are actually a direct result of trust breaking down.
In business, that could be low morale, people quitting, marketing not generating the returns we want, team conflict, poor performance, customer complaints.
In our homes that could be arguing, conflict, avoidance, abuse, frustration with our children or partner.
In our communities that could be any form of crime, increasing health issues, poor church attendance, lack of engagement in community affairs and events, problems in schools.
These are all examples of the SYMPTOMS that we deal with every day - but they are simply the symptoms. Dealing with these on their own is like putting a bandaid on a gaping and gushing wound and expecting it to heal.
What we need to do is deal with the ROOT CAUSE. And the root cause of all the frustrations and anger and disappointment in our business and personal lives is the BREAKDOWN OF TRUST.
Building and restoring trust is the only REAL solution to these issues.
