Building Trustworthiness

·        "Be prepared to take risks.

·        Play to their strengths, not their weaknesses.

·        Build trust gradually.

·        Express your confidence in them and in their progress.

·        If they fail, give them another chance.

·        Give them the opportunities and the rewarding responsibilities that their trustworthiness merits (Marshall, 2003, p. 136-137)."
