Today, we’re going to explore how trust is built and lost through intention and competence. Can anyone tell me what the ideal scenario for building trust looks like?
It’s when someone has both high intention and high competence.
Exactly! This leads to strong trust. Now, what might happen if someone has high intention but low competence?
Maybe we would still have some trust, but it wouldn't be strong.
Yes, that results in partial trust or empathy. Remember, strong trust requires both elements to be high!
Let’s switch focus to what happens when both intention and competence are low. What do you think the outcome will be?
There would be no trust.
Right! In this scenario, we see total rejection. What can lead to this outcome?
If someone doesn’t care and isn’t good at what they do.
Correct! When people do not show care and repeatedly fail, it can damage relationships significantly.
Now that we understand the outcomes, how can we build strong trust over time?
By consistently showing good intentions and being competent in our actions!
Absolutely! Consistency is key to building and maintaining trust. Can anyone think of examples where they've seen this in action?
Yes, a coach who shows care and knows the game well can earn players’ trust.
Great example! Remember, trust takes time to build but can be lost quickly.
Often, we face situations where trust is broken. What steps can we take to rebuild it?
We should acknowledge what went wrong.
Correct! Acknowledging the gap is the first step. What follows?
Clarifying intentions and trying to improve skills.
Exactly! By clearly communicating and acting consistently, we can gradually restore trust.
Intention and competence, a trustful dance, keep them aligned, and you'll enhance.
Once there was a gardener with a heart full of care (intention), but a lack of skills left his plants in despair (competence). He learned to combine both to flourish and thrive, building trust in his garden, where all could survive.
To remember the steps for building trust: I (Intention), C (Competence), C (Consistency).
ICT: Intention + Competence = Trust.

This section explores how trust in human relationships is established and the factors leading to its deterioration, emphasizing the concepts of intention and competence.
Trust is a foundational element in human interactions. This section defines how trust can be built through high intention and competence, while it can also be lost due to negative intentions or incompetence. Various outcomes based on these factors are discussed, highlighting the importance of both dimensions in fostering and maintaining trust.
In this section, we delve into the dynamics of trust within human relationships by examining two fundamental components: intention and competence. Trust is fundamentally built when individuals consistently demonstrate both positive intentions and competent actions. For instance, when a person has high intention and high competence, strong trust is established. Conversely, if either intention is low (leading to distrust) or competence is lacking (resulting in partial trust), the quality of trust suffers significantly. The section emphasizes that trust can accumulate over time through repeated positive experiences, yet it can be quickly lost through dissatisfaction or perceived negligence. Ultimately, understanding these dynamics is crucial for strengthening relationships in both family and societal contexts.
