To accomplish growth and success they both needed to have a discussion on plans to move forward and establish trust. Each need to compromise to accomplish progress. Mr Schmidt that all his recommendations and proposals have almost always resulted in prosperity and development of their institutions. Schmidt felt that at MCA, some members of the board, and especially Peter, seem to be downright intrusive and skeptical of his day-to-day management displaying a lack of trust and confidence of his abilities.A lack of trust in the workplace is a common issue that leads to insecurity, a toxic and unproductive work environment. A lack of trust is like a virus that could create chaos in the organization.When employees’ confidence level or faith lowers in their manager, colleagues, or the company, this shows a lack of trust in the workplace. Various factors, including poor communication, lack of transparency, micromanagement, inconsistent leadership, and favoritism, can cause this lack of trust. When employees do not trust their leaders or feel trusted, it can lead to decreased engagement and productivity, increased turnover, and a negative impact on team morale and cohesiveness. Therefore, building trust in the workplace is crucial for a positive and productive work environment.Various causes lead to a lack of trust in the workplace, such as:Effective communication is a critical component of a healthy work environment. And due to poor communication, your team may feel disconnected, unheard, or unsure about the work, creating a confusing and chaotic environment leading to a lack of trust in leadership.Due to a lack of transparency, employees are left in the dark about decisions directly or indirectly affecting them could cause a sense of uneasiness and uncertainty, leading to a lack of trust.When as a manager, you opt for a micromanagement style, closely tracking and controlling your work team, this indicates that you don’t trust them, creating frustration and resentment in the team.The team wants their manager to be trustworthy, fair, and consistent. But if the manager is inconsistent, the team won’t trust him, creating a sense of unease and uncertainty.Being biased toward certain team members as a manager you promote an unhealthy environment of unfairness and inequality. Your team will be dissatisfied with this behavior, leading to resentment and a lack of trust in leadership.To build a strong and positive workplace culture, managers must address the causes of the lack of trust in the workplace. By promoting open communication, transparency, and consistency, managers can help create a workplace where trust is a top priority, and the team feels valued and supported.In this scenario both Smith and Schmidt needed to examine why they were so untrustworthy or each other.  Were there jealousy and envy playing a major part in preventing growth and success of their careers.BusinessBusiness – Other
