We have probably talked about this before, but I will raise it again. Ben
raises a critical issue - that of trust. I wonder what role the ability
of generating trust has for learning organizations, for
competition/cooperation, for high performance, etc.
Do we know how to GENERATE trust when it doesn't exist?
Could this be a key to sustaining LOs?
A key competence in the era of knowledge workers?
Hope we can get a good dialogue going on this!
