Trustworthiness Checklists

By Dennis Torrecampo

Format: Checklist

Trust can be defined as “unquestioning belief in the integrity, strength or ability of a person or thing.” That can be a high and sometimes painful standard to meet. Trust is the basis of all good relationships and a cornerstone of good character, and the bedrock of interdependence. This program shows what it means to be a person others can trust, by learning that trustworthy people keep their promises, are honest, reliable, principled, and never inappropriately betray a confidence.

The measure of trust begins with one’s self, as does this four-part Trustworthiness Checklist. It then extends to your trusting your peers, your organization and how that trust is reflected by your clients or customers (i.e., where employee dissatisfaction rises, customer satisfaction falls and vice versa).

This activity may be conducted on an anonymous basis with the belief that anonymity facilitates honest, objective, and user-friendly feedback – you will not be asked for any personal information, including your relationship (supervisor, peer, subordinate) to the subject.
