An article that prompts further thought. Clear value in conveying the imperfect leader principle; anyone can make mistakes and the consequence of those mistakes, ideally treated as a continuous improvement opportunity should be visible to the wider community. Engender trust through vulnerability as well as honesty.

Extremely interesting article and relatable.
having worked at 2 different organisations in various roles and teams since graduating, you really notice a difference between teams where there is open transparent communication and where there isn't.
I firmly see that where there is trust, it is a happier work environment, you get more from your employees and overall more productivity.
This is also interesting in light of the recent covid pandemic whereby more or less every organisation had to adopt working from home principles - trust had to be given, otherwise this would have had a negative impact on employees, the organisation and productivity.

I found this article very enlightening and could relate very well with aspects of transparency, communication and fairness as being key to building trust.
When looking at trust in an organisation I was previously more inclined to only think about employees trusting the organisation/employer. Reading the article has helped me realize that employers equally need to trust their employees and the importance of of encouraging employees to 'say what is on their minds.'

very important point about the justice - always necessary to remember that employees value fairness at work as the key factor for overall satisfaction with work
