Do you really know who you work with ? Well, I’d like to think so. DaveN and I were just having a discussion on the matter of trust. One of the reasons for example that Bronco is successful is that the staff not only work as a team but play as one too, everyone shares an interest in each other. ( OK sorry if this sounds cheesy but it’s true) In amongst all this is Becky, Dave’s wife who keeps everyone organised.
We don’t always get on, that’s true also, but usually a disagreement occurs because someone is exploring a new idea and is highly motivated by it.
We have all heard the saying it can take years to build a reputation, yet seconds to loose it. Possibly trust can work the same. Why am I blogging this ? well if someone asks me something I will ALWAYS run it by DaveN first, Why ? Because he is experienced and is also my boss and has never let me down before. If I am asked to work on a project, I will ALWAYS ask DaveN.
If a client asks me to do something, I will ALWAYS ask DaveN. The reason for asking is not that I can’t think for myself, it’s because ( I hate to admit it) he is usually right.
What if someone asks me to do something on the grounds Dave may not be pleased….. I run it by him too :0)
I have learnt quite a lot this week, particularly that I am more trusting than Dave is and sometimes this leads to situations where I need a hand out of the trenches. So even on a non- work level, I’ll ask DaveN.
Now here is a statement, If someone offered me twice the salary that Dave pays I wouldn’t move. Why? Because strangely it’s not all about money. Could you put a price on learning something new every day…?
OK SEO experts, do you ever admit to asking others ? Whats the trust level like in the organisations you work in or indeed the clients you work for?
