The Five Dimensions Of Trust And Its Role In My Approach To Work
Integrity, honesty, truthful, sincere. For me in a job I am sometimes truthful, depending on what the situation is. If it is going to get someone else in trouble then I am honest enough to let that person see their fault and hopefully they will be able to learn from their mistake. On the other hand if it is not going to be a problem, and no one is going to get hurt or fired from it, then I will keep my mouth closed. Being sincere takes a lot to be, (coming from someone who feels that they have a hardened heart) from past experience of course. I feel that people are only sincere when it is going to benefit them. I can’t be sincere for something that I have wrong motives of being sincere for. Competence of knowing the job itself and understanding what is expected of me has always been a big issue for me. I don’t like people to look down on me for something that I did or did not do. I want my employer to say, “She’s a good worker” “We can count on her” I have to say that when I feel good about something I done, or if it made a difference in someone’s day I do brag about it, I know it’s not good thing to do. After I realize it I feel guilty for making my co-workers feel less than what they are worth.
Every employer wants someone who is consistent on the job, it shows initiative. When you know your job and you do it well, not only do other people see it but you get praise for it, I have in my past employment experiences. Even if it is repetitive I still show that I am able to perform the duties that I agreed to do when I signed the application. Being loyal to a partner or loyal in business is hard at times. Depending on the situation, and what the other person wants to see out of the relationship you can accommodate the other person’s needs. If you are looking out for them they in return look out for you. Once you establish confidentiality with one another it makes for a good relationship along with the consistency and collaboration neither one will need to take advantage of the other. Having openness is a good thing. If you can be honest and open about your life and you have no reason to hide any information that may be asked of you that is openness to the fullest. In a job I don’t believe you have to tell your whole life story, only if you know the co-workers well enough to establish confidentiality. Being open about your personal and private life can create problems and may be used against you in a way that you weren’t expecting.
In a relationship I believe that we enter into a relationship by asking questions, we may not know how to accept the answers and we may be uncertain of the future with that person. Being open in any relationship is a good thing it keeps people from having to guess who you are. If you are not ready or willing to be open ask yourself why? What is it that is hindering you? Will this change the way one does business with you, or will it ruin the relationship if they knew the real you? My approach to work will be being an observer at first once I get settled into a job I am more relaxed and if need be, I can tell my story.
