Leaders should never take trust seriously.
After all, trust is just one of those “soft skills” that needs no particular attention, especially from leadership. For your next corporate event, instruct your communications department to hire a stand up comic to cover that “stuff” and provide the script in advance. Make sure it’s “compliance approved” and that your Board members attend.
- Never trust a tree. They are always shady.
- My trust issues started when my Mom said “come here, I’m not gonna hit you!”
- Raisin cookies that look like chocolate chip cookies are the main reason I have trust issues.
- Never trust an atom. They make up everything.
- I got trust issues because people got lying issues.
- It’s funny how trust disappears when you are looking for the TV remote. Me: “Do you have the remote?” Him: “No.” Me: “Stand up.”
- People say I have trust issues. I don’t believe them.
- Watch who you trust. Even your teeth bite your tongue now and then.
- I don’t trust these stairs. They are always up to something.
- I am pretty sure the definition of trust is giving your friend your phone without clearing the history.
I take no credit for any of these one-liners. I’m way too serious about trust! Our new diagnostic AIM Towards Trust doesn’t deliver any jokes. Instead, it provides a baseline measurement from which to improve trust in any team or organization. It’s designed for trustworthy leaders who embrace trust as an intentional business strategy, not a joke.

Trust is the most important thing in a relationship. You have to be absolutely sure they won’t tell your partner. (I can’t take credit for this one either!)
