Anger
When the directors of a business cannot seem to agree on the
Bull’s Eye for their business, the single most common reason is a lack of trust
between them.
The finance director was red with rage as she denounced her
colleague, director of marketing, in front of me, for half baked ideas. “You
bring projects to the table that might sound interesting, but you have nothing
on paper, nothing on projected sales and PBT, nothing on cash flow
implications.”
Silent, open, hostility.
Then Amanda spat her reply “And if it was left to you and
your ability to have any new ideas at all, we wouldn’t even have a business.
You are just a bean counter!”
When you share your tacit knowledge with a colleague, however
this happens, it will always result in business reward.
Even if this means a parting of the ways.

Can really empathise with this. Perhaps that's why many set up one-man businesses or become sole traders. In business, it really is difficult to fine people you can fully trust.
Hi John - if you let me have an email address I'll send you the model I use to develp trust in business.
