You trust them before you&#8217;ve seen proof that they&#8217;re capable. You trust them because if they can&#8217;t be trusted they shouldn&#8217;t have been hired. Whatever the project is, whatever the scope of their responsibility is, you need to demonstrate to them that you trust them with an appropriate level of autonomy. No micromanaging, no excessively invasive oversight, and no treating them like furniture that&#8217;s &#8220;shadowing&#8221; for extended periods of time.
