Positive relational intent is the foundation of trust in every relationship. When people sense that a leader has their best interests at heart, they respond with loyalty and dedication. When they sense the leader values their own interests the most, they withhold trust, and possibly even resist. Each interaction is an opportunity to demonstrate positive relational intent.
The foundation of trust is demonstrating positive relational intent toward others.
