Our world seems chock full of way too many legal documents, contracts, and memoranda of understanding. It seems we can't afford to trust someone unless we've hemmed them up with hundreds of words of demands, constraints, limitations, expectations, etc.
I am reminded daily of the pervasiveness of these systems built on one thing: DISTRUST!
All are grounded in the presumption that "the other" will not do the right thing unless they are bound to it via some contractual obligation.
To the contrary, years ago I learned about a very different approach. Here's how it looks:
"I'm going to trust you...............until or unless you give me some reason not to."
How's that for a contract?????
