I love this. The alternative theory—more trust allows people to focus on the work itself not on protecting themselves —is amply supported by data
Trust relates to how open we are to being vulnerable based on how we expect others will behave towards us.
One theory is that more trust allows people to focus on team goals rather than their personal interests, thereby improving overall performance.

Great research by Lindy Greer. Hierarchy isn’t fixed. The best leaders know when to exert authority, delegate, or get out of the way.

Get an executive coach - if you’re a CEO or exec, you make decisions regularly that are worth 10x the cost of one. Multiplied by your team, that could be 1000x.
No elite athlete can get to that level without coaching. Why would that be different for operating in business?

I love this, and stand corrected after repeating that phrase often. I can see how my intended meaning might not have been coming across as I thought.
