Orrin, Wow! This article hit met square between the eyes. We all have our blind-spots, but your comments on trust are exactly what I needed to hear. Trust is one of the many art-side principles that are absolutely necessary to building a healthy, synergistic, growing community. Task alone cannot do it (and as a matter of fact will be counter-productive unless trust is built in the process). As I think through the Tri-Lateral Leadership Ledger, I feel "trust" could be one of the few unique measuring points that need to be evaluated in each of the Character, Task, and Relationship categories. I feel this way because A) there must be a fundamental character flaw if people cannot develop trust amongst their peers; B) the ability to duplicate science-side tasks will not exist without developing trust during the process of the task; and C) it is impossible to build lasting relationships without trust. Do you agree, or am I micro-analyzing this facet? As the saying goes, people don't care how much you know (or what you can do) until they know how much you care - specifically about them on a genuine personal level. And we show how much we care with our T-I-M-E. This is what you have done for all of us and continue to do daily through your conviction and vision. You are a man of character and provide an excellent example for each of us to follow when you write, "My personal attitude is that I want to be friends first and then team partners." Thanks for all you time, sacrifice and caring for each of us on the Team!
