Abstract

A dangerous and self-defeating pattern develops when managers hold three simple assumptions that, in combination, prevent the formation of trust: important issues naturally fall into two opposing camps, exemplified by either/or thinking; hard data and facts are better than what appear to be soft ideas and speculation; and the world is a dangerous place requiring a person to adopt a position of pervasive mistrust to survive.
