topic: [[Relating]] created: 2023-07-01 _Trust is by me about who regarding what?_ This reminds me of [[trust is the currency of relationships]], it is helpful to think of trust as a bank. When [[Leading]] one needs to work towards trust, [[trust is the currency of relationships]]. One cannot control trust, one can [[create the conditions]] where trust is possible. It is easy to fail, but difficult to succeed. One way of building trust is a [[focus attention]] on the person with you, which will produce [[De]]. This requires a [[🐓 Idea Farm/6 Long Form Sources/Trying Not To Try|Trying Not To Try]] attitude. Trust is a relational phenomenon which is currently theorized through the radius of trust as outlined below in the image: ![[radius of trust on 3 axes.jpg]] Trust can be specific to the situation: “Particularized trust is relational in nature; it is directed toward a particular target and a particular action.” (Schilke et al., 2021, p. 244) - Particularized trust is some sum of the "shadow of the past" (previous experiences, social dynamics) and the "shadow of the future" (perceived situational benefits to this relationship being trusting), plus the "object of trust." - As a metaphor, this model can be thought of as a Bohr model of trust (inner circle, etc.) however this more complex 3-D visual is more like the "electron cloud" where there are regions of trust being more or less likely, but trust is never knowable without the boundaries being tested. - “virtually all contemporary models of trust contain (a) a trustor, (b) a trustee, and (c) a trust object. “A trusts B with respect to issue x” (Cook et al. 2005a, p. 7), where A is the trustor (the actor placing trust), B is the trustee (the target of trust), and x is the trust object (the domain or activity in which trust is placed)” (Schilke et al., 2021, p. 247) Trust can be a state of general existence (a personality trait influenced by social dynamics?) “The term “generalized trust” typically describes actors placing a certain level of trust independent of the identity of the trustee and the nature of the situation” (Schilke et al., 2021, p. 243) Why does it matter? Being a [[learning leader]] means creating [[psychological safety]] conditions for people to be able to take risks. They need to trust that the learning leader and their peers will support them when they go through the pain of learning. “trustworthiness judgments rest on the trustor’s perceptions of the trustee’s ability, benevolence, and integrity” (Schilke et al., 2021, p. 250) ##### What would the opposite argument be? Trust can only be partially earned, if the trustor is in a situation that makes them unlikely to trust deeply, they will struggle with building trust, even if the trustee is doing things that are trustworthy. _Is there a Schrödinger Cat type situation where trust isn't known till it is tested, but testing it changes the level of trust?_ tags: #note/idea | #on/relationships | #on/trust ##### Sources: Schilke, O., Reimann, M., & Cook, K.
