I suppose it partially depends on whether your lack of faith is justified.
If you're genuinely better than other people at doing certain things then the problem is not really your level of faith in them, but whether or not you have enough tact to avoid making them feel bad about doing an adequate job where you could have done an excellent one.
If, on the other hand, you always assume other people will do stuff worse than you without any evidence then you do need to work on things inside yourself.

Oh, while I think about it, here are a couple of links I found about Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism (the type I was involved in)
