Define "trust" and when it can be okay not to trust others.
Trusting someone means that you think they are reliable, you have confidence in them and you feel safe with them physically and emotionally.
When it's okay not to...
When you fail to consider the risks: Knowing when and how to give trust is a developed skill requiring consideration, experience, and judgment. Those who operate with authentic trust don't tune out their doubts or ignore the past.
When you operate with trust as a light switch: Ever hear someone say, "I either trust you or I don't," as if there's a trust-light-switch that's either on or off? To them, trust is an all-or-nothing proposition. That's not the kind of trust you want at work. While unconditional love is a positive, unconditional trust isn't. Authentic trust, the kind you need for work relationships, has conditions, boundaries, and limits.
When the outcome matters more than the relationship: Sometimes outcome must be the priority. When President Reagan first used the now popularized phrase, "trust but verify," he referred to information reliability and increased transparency related to nuclear arsenals during the Cold War. Situations with life or death implications, high safety elements, or critical impact ramifications require an outcome critical approach, where control and verification behaviors often trump concepts typically associated with trust.
