Assuming you have to choose between two... by trusted, I mean someone who is popular for his strengths... What would you take as your spot?

Nice to hear, but one should accept the truth that boss favorites are winning the race today. No matter how talented and skillful you are in your job performance, a slight misunderstanding between you and the boss will land you in trouble.

Greetings,
Good topic! I am sure we will get a range of views on this. Here's my point. It depends directly on the culture of the organization and the values of the boss in question.
There are many firms that take pride in not playing favorites. There are bosses who would write off team members who may try to impress them. These leaders would have "the organization first" attitude.
At the same time, in cultures that are completely driven by human emotions, there would be an equal degree of subjectivity. Hence, they are susceptible to power plays, which will require a considerable amount of fan-following. Consequently, setting rewards for loyalists rather than meritocrats.
I look forward to the experiences as shared by our members.

Dear Mr. Nikhil,
Let me correlate your query with mine. It's from the employee perspective.
"Whether, shall I SATISFY MY SUPERIORS or MEET COMPANY OBJECTIVES."
You need to think on a broader spectrum while correlating my query to conclude your views, suggestions, opinion, etc...
I am sure we will enjoy sharing your views, positively....

Dear Mr. Matheen,
You are only worried about your job. I am not sure whether you have tried to improve your skills, talent, etc. You need to understand "why an employer can hire my services". We are not hired to satisfy the employer (individual), but we are hired to meet the company's objectives.
According to my knowledge, "One who meets company objectives should be the boss's favorite" and should be trusted for his sincerity, honesty, loyalty, dedication, hard work, and unselfish nature.
Kindly remember, a buttering up nature will never last long because honesty will win at any cost. Kindly don't even try to gain trust by buttering up your boss; such trust will never last long.
There is something known as inner satisfaction and external satisfaction. External satisfaction is related to the boss, and internal satisfaction is related to your skills, talents, trust, what you achieve, or have achieved on your own, etc.
Think big, think outside the box, dare to dream big, and try your best to realize your goals...
Kindly don't mistake me because I am very straightforward in nature as I only support sincerity, honesty, loyalty, dedication, and hard work.
Good luck.

This is a great question. I think it's best to be a team player and win the confidence of your team. However, at the same time, you can't avoid the directions of your boss. You have to do what he/she wants you to do. After all, the acronym of JOB is Just Obey Boss ;)

A trusted team player will always be a boss's delight, but a boss's delight may not always be a trusted team player. More importantly, bosses never actually realize this, which turns the table and raises questions about how trustworthy the bosses themselves are.

Hi, I was waiting eagerly for someone to post their suggestions proportionately to what you had exactly suggested. This reflects your HIGH MATURITY LEVELS. https://www.citehr.com/332858-how-en...-students.html
What you said is 101% TRUE. According to me, TRUST should be found in TOP MANAGEMENT, and it is TOP MANAGEMENT or BOSS who should inculcate the same down the hierarchy line.... This is how TRUST CAN BE BUILT in organizations.
Good Luck with profound regards.
