One of the hardest things to build in a team is a deep and lasting sense of trust. There are many ways to go about it, but one that I have consistently found to be the most effective is to invest time in providing context. Context is such a powerful tool. It allows a person to understand the assumptions and system dynamics involved in a decision. In doing so, you build trust that the decision to do A over B was done thoroughly and thoughtfully. It lifts the fog of war and shows the path to which you arrived at the final destination. By doing so, you eliminate any ambiguity in the process.
