Regardless of the outcome, I believe this trust is a necessary precondition for someone to turn it around. So this relationship doesn’t guarantee success, but lacking it does guarantee failure.

Agreed you need to have trust for it to work out.
Unfortunately, sometimes you can trust and it still doesn't work out.
It took me a long time to realize I wasn't a great fit for every job. Now I try to lean into my strengths and acknowledge my weaknesses. For instance, please never hire me for my design sense (see my personal blog at https://www.mooreds.com/wordpress/ for proof of that).
It's really hard to acknowledge weaknesses, especially when employment/$$$ are at stake. But it is important to do so.
