The best advice I can give is to start investing into it early on. For example, I try to make sure my team understand that I have always team's best interest in mind, that I am first to admit if I make a mistake and that I am always ready to evaluate my position as new information comes. It goes really a long way to help in a difficult situation but it also prevents a lot of difficult situations from happening in the first place. It also tends to make other team members and management to be on your side which may help in a lot of situations (but not always, not with the most stubborn people).
