Make-believe

Some studies emphasize that leaders are key to building trust in organizations, and that trust in leadership is significantly related to a number of attitudes, behaviors and performance results. In their meta-analysis of independent samples, 106 samples, Dirks and Ferrin (2002, p. 618) concluded that trust in leadership was positively related to a variety of outcomes, including job performance, organizational citizenship behaviors, organizational commitment and job satisfaction, while negatively related to intention to leave the organization. In a time of mistrust/distrust, in which even those who have to give the examples can, we have "gotten" performance. Someone responsible has forgotten that trust accelerates business and relationships. The "time for investment" may be more one of "make-believe".
