The Wizard of Oz

The wizard of Oz, a fictional character from an extremely eccentric children’s tale, is rumored to live in the middle of the Emerald City, and none but the most humble has access to him, and none but the most practical can even guess that he is not some apparition or ghostly being, but rather just an engineer who can do a few magic tricks and who has a strangely accurate streak of common sense, which contributes to the general belief throughout Oz of how wise the wizard is.

In other words, the effect is achieved through smoke and mirrors, and has great effect, for who listens to a mere mortal who is great at giving advice?

Thus, this question is posed in business. How can you elicit trust in people without making it outright manipulation? The answer is through courtesy and respect. You cannot show them a false front, but you can be extremely professional, tasteful, gracious, polite and courteous. These attributes will go a long way toward showing a continual and uninterrupted respect for their feelings and needs.

These attributes are also less likely to shown, if at all, by employees who are under the influence of drugs or alcohol. Workplace drug testing and alcohol testing is extremely effective for identifying those in your company who are a direct threat to your courteous and classy image. Your own professionalism is thwarted by their crassness, and by their lack of caring, which can often be the case in addicts’ behavior. This is something which must be immediately dealt with.

And it does not require smoke and mirrors.
