Trust vs fear

Chris Moody has a guest post on Brad Feld's blog titled Trust can scale:

Now ask yourself “Are we adding this process because we don’t trust people to make decisions?” If the answer to this question even has a hint of “maybe” you need to stop and really consider the cost of that process.

Replacing trust with process is like a cancer that will spread quickly and silently throughout the company. One day you’ll wake up and think “this place doesn’t feel special any more” or ask yourself “why is it so hard for us to get stuff done.”

Brad is worth following. He's an investor who understands that life and business is much more than the latest technology trend.
