S12E2: Timing is Everything, Including in TRUST

Time is one of the components of my relative trust model. But it has additional roles in trust. You’ve heard that “timing is everything” and that “the early bird gets the worm.” What happens when two peers in an organization cannot resolve a disagreement themselves and must go to the boss? Does it matter who gets to speak to the boss first? The short answer is that it does. In this episode, I will explain why the boss will likely trust the first employee to speak with them more than the second. This episode will also advise the two peers and the boss on building trust and resolving conflicts as best as possible.
