In a Chinese saying " If you doubt a person , don't use him and if you decide to use the person, we have to give him complete trust ". It has been my policy and many a times, it was disappointing . It comes from both ways from the top or from the bottom.
From the top, if we are using our subordinates to do a job and give him a complete trust and in the end, we are either played out or they failed us. Greed and integrity are the main issues. After awhile, the subordinates go out of line and make decisions which do involved you and make a wrong decision as he or she fells that they are ready or become more knowledgeable.
From the bottom, the boss who used to trust us thinks that we are getting too big and over ride them. If it is true, the boss have all the rights to be angry but if it is misguided thinking or a fraction of his imagination , then it is very unfair to the subordinate who have been rooting all the time for the boss. This misguided action or response could be very hurting and can damaged the rapport between the boss and the subordinate. Either the boss is getting too big and gets suspicion or there is a gap already existing between the boss and subordinate. They have broken the link of communication and have eroded the trust between them. If this gap remains unhealed , it will get bigger and bigger and it could end in the relationship.
A trust takes years to grow and it can be broken in one day.
Namaste.
