21. Principle 3:
Assume Good Intent
Trust is reciprocal and earned
Trust has a financial impact
It is difficult to trust unless…
we can see demonstrations of
trustworthiness (competency,
honesty, reliability)
see http://bit.ly/distributedtrust
we know their natural tendencies
23. North: Acting - “Let’s do it;” Likes to act, try things, plunge in.
South: Caring - likes to know that everyone’s feelings have been taken into
consideration and that their voices have been heard before acting
East: Speculating - likes to look at
the big picture and the
possibilities before acting
West: Paying attention to detail -
likes to know who, what, when,
where and why before acting
35. Can you work within these principles?
What about your distributed team?
