There's now been a lot of research on the centrality of what's called relational trust to the functioning of nearly everything in our society. If you, if anybody's wondering why it seems like everything is falling apart right now, it's in part because relational trust has fallen apart. This isn't fluffy, touchy, feeli stuff. This is about making things work in a society where not a whole lot of things are working. You know, that's why leaders ought to be opening up these safe spaces, these trust building spaces, o for the sake of mission success.
Have you ever had someone come to you with a dilemma, but when you start to share your advice, they resist your every suggestion? The relationship gets more strained. You leave feeling frustrated, but when you open up, you immediately get advice and feel more alone and more confused than you were before. For this episode, I continue the conversation I started in Episode 17 with one of my heroes, Parker J. Palmer. He's sharing a story or two, some of the things he has learned over decades, and some actionable advice. By the end of this episode, you will be better able to help people unravel their confusion and find the right way forward.
