19. CHARACTERISTICS VISIBLE IN ORGANIZATIONS WITH
HIGH LEVELS OF TRUST:
 Credibility: employees mean what they say, and believe what they
say is true. They have the confidence that the actions of others will
remain consistent with their words. Management is seen to be
ethical in its business practices.
 Respect: employers support their employees’ professional growth
and offer consideration of their ideas in decision-making processes.
 Fair treatment: employees believe they are treated fairly, regardless
of their position within the organization.
 Interaction: something as simple as a conversation between co-
workers, or a five-minute chat in the break room between managers
and employees, can convey a willingness on the part of one person
to do something that is to the benefit of another person’s health and
well-being.

20. The following mnemonic can be kept in mind when trying
to improve trust in an organization:
T = Teach: Teach everyone in the organization how things
work; make it as transparent as possible.
R = Reward: Make sure reward systems align with
corporate value and goals.
U = Unconditional Support: Encourage innovation. Create
an environment where mistakes are opportunities to learn,
not to punish. Give employees permission to “think outside
the box.
S = Share Information: Communicate clearly and
frequently.
T = Trustworthy: Make commitments and keep them.

21. Delegation

prescribed limits.
Appointing a person to act on one’s

SMARTER. It's a quick checklist for proper
delegation. These tasks must be:
