'Trust' is easier to feel than to define. Problems arise when decisions are based on 'trust' without understanding why and without understanding the alternatives.
To effectively execute your strategy, focus on outcomes and define the capabilities you need. Assess the gaps in your capabilities and create a plan keeping your current realities in mind.
When you do not understand the problem, you do not understand the cause and effect relationships and have no idea how to define and implement the solution, then you have nothing else but 'trust' to go on. In such a situation you will depend on 'gut feel' and 'emotion' to take decisions.
You could observe (correctly) that even if all the above are understood, you need to 'trust' yourself, 'trust' your team mates, 'trust' your partners etc. etc. In this situation, your beliefs are based on due diligence. After a certain point, there is no choice but to hope for the best and accept that everything is not in your control.
Know when and why to 'trust'. Blind trust, driven by emotion, has been the downfall of many efforts to execute strategy.
