A while back I went looking for the book and ended up finding a quote from Mr. Andrus in Virtual Teams
The biggest thing that can undermine a virtual team is passive aggressive behavior. You send me e-mail, I don't like it. I pretend I didn't get it, and you are damaged with out recourse"I was looking at Mistrust in the Tree of Self-Defeat today and thinking about how this quote was a corporate example of mistrust and its effects of that on an company. How individual actions lead to corporate wide mistrust and the fruit it produces has some overlap in Alienation and Interpersonal Conflicts, but I think it has some fruits unique to a corportation to. What comes to mind is turnover, lack of productivity (maybe that is Apathy), lower profits, poor customer support.
All this lead me to wonder what the poster might look like for a corporation and not a individual. Alcoholism, drug addictions, and mental illness for example wouldn't be in the left tree. What do you think would be the signs of a healthy corporation?
So how might one person fight back and work to repair the damage caused by corporate mistrust? I think you start with Forgiveness for those who seem to be sources of mistrust.
