Large systems aren’t inherently low-trust though. For example dealing with the same point of contact. Like your local GP in the NHS. I definitely remember home visits from our GP as a kid. So within a generation. Or with our kids family nurse that did all the pre and post checkups for both children.
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoAKA the "Algerian Resistance" model. Everyone works with the same or slowly changing set of subordinates below them (patients in the case of an NHS physician) and same handler above them so despite the organization being big and faceless everyone has a long term high trust relationship with the people directly above and below them.
- dcx 6y agoThis sounds interesting and Google is not coming up with useful leads - would you be able to point me to more information on the "Algerian Resistance" model you describe?
- throwaway0a5e 6y agoRead up on the ANLF. The ANLF structured their organization such that nobody had good knowledge of the organization except the portion of the org chart immediately above and below them. This annoyed the French because they would capture the grunts and it was a hell of a lot of work to work their way up to knowing who the leaders were since you'd need an unbroken chain of N people willing to narc on their boss. This is made harder because people are more likely to narc on their boss's boss who they don't really know vs their boss who they have a hack of a working relationship with but that depends on knowing who your boss's boss is. Be advised that I glossed over some details in my original comment.
