I believe one of the most important side-effect of developing
Model II skills as described by Argyris is trust building. In my opinion,
the skilled use of the left-hand column, balancing advocacy and inquiry
and the awareness of our own leaps in the ladder of inference are all keys
to generate trust and to sustain an LO. There are also in my mind a key
competence for all workers, knowledge workers or not.
