Trust is also very important in a manager subordinate relationship.

When a manager gives his trust to his

subordinates, he is actually motivating them to work smarter than the usual. The manager is silently
telling his subordinate, “I am trusting you with a bigger responsibility you therefore have to measure up
to this trust by working harder and smarter.”

Why will a subordinate who was trusted with a bigger responsibility would work hard? Because this is
human nature. An employee who is trusted with a heavier responsibility would normally try to do his
best to meet or even exceed the given responsibility.

Trust gives confidence and a deep sense of meaning to a worker or an employee. Moreover, trust also
creates a positive vibe in the workplace environment. Trust enables the manager to accomplish more in
his workplace. For the simple reason that he would be able to spread himself wider than the usual.

However, there is a caveat before you trust your subordinates, trust only the subordinate who is
competent. Don’t give trust to an incompetent subordinate even if he/she is close to you. Otherwise, it
would defeat the objective of the given trust or responsibility.
