TRUST

There use to be an exercise to do with a group of people where someone would stand in front of a person and stare straight ahead and then fall backwards trusting that the person behind them would catch them.

That is what it feels like in the work place and it certainly the relationship that is needed between drivers and dispatch.
For the driver to do his job he needs to know that the person who is dispatching them had their back and he must trust that the dispatcher is working FOR them. The same of coarse works in reverse, the dispatcher needs to know that the driver has their back and trust them and will do keep their word on what is promised.

No matter what business you are in we all must trust our counterparts and the people that we work aside every day.
When you do not trust each other there is no way anyone can truly work to the best of their ability. You end up always looking over your shoulder and it effects your disposition and how you approach the day. It spreads negativity which is always counterproductive.

You gain trust by being honest and not having personnel agenda's.
You can trust by reaching out and helping.
You gain trust by looking past someones false because let's face it we all of our own false.
Be positive and be first to extend the olive branch and you will be surprised.

To many people hold grudges and want revenge and for what ?? Where does it get you.
It will wear you down.

If you want to make your day easier then pull in as many people as you can, don't push them away and DO NOT JUDGE.
Unless you have walked a mile in someone Else's shoes DO NOT JUDGE THEM.

WE WILL ALL BE JUDGED AT A MUCH LATER DATE....
