Win Back Your Boss’s Trust by Showing Integrity

Can you truly regain your boss’s trust once you’ve lost it? In most cases, the answer is yes. Trust is often broken if your integrity has been called into question.

There are two ways to rebuild trust and show integrity. The first takes time: repeatedly demonstrate an ability to work hard and delay selfish gratification. For example, work through lunch or take on onerous or tedious tasks that need to get done, but no one else wants to do.

The second is quicker: show a willingness to sacrifice to benefit others when the stakes are high. This could include putting off a planned vacation to meet a major need or goal of your boss’s. You have to be willing to do what others might not, so you won’t be seen as prioritizing your own needs over those of the company.

Always…Unconditionally…Follow your heart. Understand that persistence, hard work, and determination are the keys to success.
