Thanks for the nuanced and excellent post. I think this: > The two best managers I've ever had as an individual contributor are what I would call transparently dishonest. Highlights an important fact: genuine, warranted trust is not cultivated in the absence of dishonesty. Instead, it's the result of the presence of certain kinds of honesty, and many other things/behaviors as well. Basically: Honesty:Trust !:: Dishonesty:Distrust.
