Step 24
Understanding That Reliability Builds Trust
Students sometimes assume trust mainly comes from their talent, popularity or confidence.
In reality, trust is often built more quietly through:
consistency
follow-through
honesty
effort
communication
People tend to rely on students who repeatedly do what they say they will do. Even in small situations.
Core Idea
Reliability is built through repeated follow-through.
