"I will not lie, steal or cheat; nor tolerate amoung us anyone who does. Furthermore, I resolve to my duty and live honorably so help me god." - If you don't know what this is, then please look it up. As for me, its not just an oath but a way of life. I live this phrase every day since I took it over 10 years ago. That being said- If you live by the rule D.T.A. (Don't Trust Anyone), then you should not be in a management or more importantly a leadership position. It comes down to this- you have to believe that your subordinates will live honorably and do their job to the best of their abilities. We all know this isn't always the case, but you have to give them the trust they deserve as a human being, until they give you a legitimate reason not to trust. Once they give you that reason, than all gloves are off; but until then give them the benefit of the doubt. If you can't do that, then you should not be an employer an a managerial position.
