Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Keeping skills and competencies up to date demonstrates the supervisor's commitment to continuous improvement and their ability to adapt to changes in the workplace. This builds trust and credibility with employees, peers, and bosses because they see the supervisor as knowledgeable and competent. Sharing personal experiences and asking about pastimes and interests may build rapport, but alone may not demonstrate professional competence or contribute to employee development. Maintaining detachment while working may be necessary in some situations, but it does not necessarily build trust or credibility. Spending time together outside of work may build rapport, but it is not a necessary or sufficient condition for building trust and credibility in the workplace.
