Insist on and give nothing less than truth, sincerity and candor. Lying destroys it. When you lie to someone, even once, trust is replaced by suspicion and suspicion destroys trust To be trusted, one has to be trustworthy.
Trustworthiness, however, is a more complex concept than most people realize. It embodies four separate virtues: integrity, honesty, promise-keeping and loyalty. A failure in any one of these areas will prevent or destroy trust. Integrity refers to moral wholeness, a consistency between words, acts and beliefs. People with integrity earn our trust because they can be counted on to put ethical principles over integrity and do what they believe is right and what they say they will do even when it may cost more than they want to pay.
People of integrity put their honor above social, financial and career considerations. People earn our trust by being scrupulously honest, by being truthful and sincere.
Trustworthy people also keep their promises and, in relationships justifying expectations of loyalty, they demonstrate their commitment to our well-being by being forthright and candid. This can be tricky when a person has conflicting loyalties, but close friendships and many business relationships create an expectation that our friend or business associate will affirmatively volunteer information we need or want to know to protect ourselves e.
We build trust like we build a tower, stone by stone. What we often forget is that these towers, no matter how old or how tall, can be easily toppled. Rules About Trust. As each of these institutions wages its separate battle to remove the cloud of suspicion and cynicism that hovers over it, there are certain truths about trust that must be understood and dealt with.
First, there is no shortcut to building trust. In fact, rebuilding trust on the rubble of lost credibility is much harder. The antidote is nothing less than scrupulous and consistent honesty — especially when the truth is costly. Second, where trust is important, there are no little lies. In some ways lies, however small they seem, are like germs. Without the antibody of trust they cause infections that can kill credibility. Third, the lethal quality of lies lasts long after the lie is told.
And even lies told years ago have an immediate poisonous effect on trust when they are discovered. Think of all the prominent people who have been undone by the discovery of falsehoods on old resumes. Fifth, lies breed other lies. Once you start lying, it takes an ever-growing bodyguard of new lies to protect the old ones.

Despite rhetoric about virtue being its own reward, a great many adults — and a higher proportion of kids — are more likely to make their choices based on a calculation of risks and benefits than moral principles.
Since young people are particularly susceptible to choices that indulge impulses and favor immediate needs and wants, we need to teach them how making bad choices to gratify such desires can sabotage their most important relationships and impede critical life objectives.
Every dishonest act has at least two potential consequences: 1 the actual penalty, and 2 loss of trust. The second is by far the more serious and underestimated. This is especially true in parent-child relationships. Where trust is important, there are no little lies. The price of lying is lost freedom. From both a moral and practical perspective, honesty is the best policy.
Today, I want to talk about the qualities that generate trust. Being trustworthy, however, is an indispensable aspect of good character. Being worthy of trust entails two qualities: character and competence.
Of course, the attribute we first associate with trustworthy behavior is integrity. This crucial aspect of good character is demonstrated through scrupulous honesty and moral courage. If we want people to trust us or our organization, they must believe we will consistently do the right thing regardless of circumstances or pressures.
Other aspects of character include accountability and fairness. But in business, confidence in character is not enough to justify trust. In this case, trust also involves the conviction that the person or organization will successfully do what is expected.
