Definition
TRUST
“The willingness of a party to be vulnerable to the actions of another party
based on the expectation that the other will perform a particular action
important to the trustor, irrespective of the ability to monitor or control that
other party.”
Mayer et al, 1995:712
CONFIANZA
“La decisión de una persona a ser vulnerable ante las acciones de otra
basada en suposición de que la otra realizará una acción importante para el
depositario de la confianza, independientemente de la capacidad de controlar
o supervisar esa otra parte”

"Would you tell me, please, which way I
ought to go from here, “ said Alice.
"That depends a good deal on where you
want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where—" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go,"
said the Cat.
”So long as I get somewhere," Alice added
as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if
you only walk long enough."

• Hire smarter people than you – mix up your teams
• Build something better
• Clarity – weakest leadership muscle

propio obstáculo
Manager or Leader

unnecessary

Change - Cambio
It Happens, Embrace It
Si sucede, aprovéchelo
• What got you here may not
necessarily bring you
forward.
• Listen to the advice you
get – it is nearly always
well intentioned.
“Life is 10% what happens to you
and 90% how you react to it”
“La vida el 10% lo que le sucede y
el 90% como reacciona al
respecto”

Progress
• Potential to create
something special
• Leverage the talent
• Friction is important
• Great leaders know when
to stir things up and when
to let it simmer.
“The reasonable man adapts himself to
the conditions that surround him... The
unreasonable man adapts surrounding
conditions to himself... All progress
depends on the unreasonable man.”
George Bernard Shaw
“El hombre racional se adapta a las
condiciones que lo rodean… El hombre
irracional hace que las condiciones se adapten
a él… Todo el progreso depende del hombre
irracional.”
