3 years ago my organization had a massive restructure that was handled very poorly.
Management repeatedly and openly lied to us and then were angry that we called them out.
Redundancies were enacted , morale and trust were nonexistent even in areas that were not directly impacted.
Discretionary effort evaporated. Good and long term staff resigned in increasing numbers .
Those leaders have now retired/ jumped ship to more luctrative positions. Their replacements (underlings that were aware of the entire process) are acting as though “nothing to see here ” everything is wonderful and yet they refuse to acknowledge or address the damaged legacy as they are products of the same development environment.
As such the distrust is now entrenched and palpable, attrition and sick leave through the roof and recruiting targets routinely failing to be met.
Why is it that leaders of organisations who trumpet values such as; honesty, courage ,loyalty and integrity VERY rarely, if ever demonstrate them to their people yet demand that staff live and die (Fired) by these same values ?

I now understand that rebuilding lost trust is not easy and one way this could be done is by open communication and asking the members which approach is an effective way of rebuilding it. If I manage a big non-profit organization, I would understand how important building an efficient and functional leadership is. It would be nice for this concept to be an essential part of an institution’s structure.

Most people near the starts of their careers aren t typically thought of as leaders in the workplace. Not only do they inhabit a low spot in the office hierarchy and lack experience and skills, but also many are too timid and insecure to assume a leadership role.

I really appreciate this article. I’m currently going thru something like this as a supervisor. I am new to my new position and I don’t feel that I am trusted as a leader. I have had a recent discussion with my employee and we addressed and issue about respect and being professional. But it’s very apparent that this employee does not like me or TRUST me that I can’t can be a competent leader. I’m looking forward to taking some of these tools to build that trust and relationship.
