Here are 6 simple ways to build trust.
1. HUMILITY
No boasting, no false pride. You don't know everything and it is OK to ask for help. You won't appear weak.
2. TELLER of TRUTH
" The truth shall set you free "
Why spend your day trying to remember what lie you told and to whom. Why you told it and when you said it. You only create stress for yourself and others. When no one believes you anymore, the game is over.
3. LIFT UP OTHERS
Help people on your way up and they might remember you on the way down. Nothing lasts. That kid with acne who joined you fresh out of college, is probably a billionaire now. Did you help them or make their lives miserable ?
4. GIVE PRAISE
When somebody does something well, tell them. Don't put it off. You don't want to be known as the person who always is putting others and ideas down. Nobody willingly wants to be around this type of person.
5. DO RIGHT
Do the right thing because it is the right thing to do. Probably one of the hardest things in the world to accomplish. When you master this, you will be trusted.
6. CO - OPERATE
No person is an island. People do not like dealing with people who gather up their toys and storm home, because things are not going their way. Life is a series of give and takes. Like the ebb and flow of the tide, there is a time to give and a time to take. Master this well and building trust becomes easier.

Under being humble, I find that when someone can own their mistakes it builds significant trust levels. We can relate to that.
Someone already does the 6 points you mentioned, may not need this one: but for some, it helps to focus on sharing credit for successes. Or another way to say it, avoid an unhealthy need to be in control.
