Harvard Business Reviews focus on “Rebuilding Trust”
Posted by Andrew 18 June 2009
This months Harvard Business Review provides what I think are 116 reasons for why our national story conference “Celebrating Story: Approaching change one story at a time” is not just timely, but a must!
This national story conference will provide a premier showcasing of humane, compassionate and highly relationship building approaches such as:
- Conversation-based approaches to culture change
- Building relationships and identity with stories
- Understanding Appreciative Inquiry
- Story in evaluation
- Social work and the art of story catching
The HBR’s focus on rebuilding trust provides some great articles exploring not only how we are hardwired to trust so we need to be skeptical, but also how the very focus on trust could see the seeds of recognition around a need for new organisational forms. There is a particularly interesting article written by Bob Sutton exploring the value of compassion, he quotes:
“This suggests that compassion from a boss adds corporate value – in good times and in bad. What’s more, it’s free.”
