Understanding Trust Beyond Transparency

Trust is often misconceived as solely dependent on transparency, but is instead a confident relationship with the unknown. While calls for increased transparency and visibility are prevalent, they do not inherently solve trust issues; rather, they can reveal deeper problems of trust. Transparency can degenerate into mere compliance and bureaucracy, leading to situations where too much information creates panic rather than understanding. The crucial aspect for building trust lies in being able to share information strategically and contextually, rather than flooding individuals with unfiltered data.
