S13E12: "Trust but Verify?" Try "Trust but Specify!"
Manage episode 424214322 series 2933850
Is it good to “Trust but verify?” When you verify, aren’t you showing that you don’t trust? In this episode, I will analyze this management approach. Does it really work? I found a 2004 research article that claimed that the more you verify, even in a high-trust self-managed team, the better the performance is. But I will also discuss what’s missing from that study, and will finally suggest that instead of “Trust but verify,” you should practice “Trust but specify.”
