The notion of trust can be extended beyond individuals obviously to other entities such as
trusted algorithms and
best practices - which are just

(It's always interesting to see how things change. This was originally named by me: "Who Do You Trust?" because that is how the question was originally posed. The English-usage fanatics apparently changed it which reminds me of Winston Churchill's remark, something like "That is something up with which I will not put." Ah well ... no harm done, I suppose. Trust is a cultural thing and in short supply these days.) --

Toyota is betting competitors cannot fully harness the power of TPS, due to
ImpedanceMismatch between
OrganizationCulture in the west, and the structural pillars of
TheToyotaWay.
AmatterOfTrust consist of:
- Build trust at all levels.
- Take a long-term view on all issues that are important, including building trust.
Here, where
WesternCivilization dominates, there is simply a lack of
CulturalReadiness for the
ToyotaProductionSystem.
RelationshipManagement is often employed as a short-term tactic, and in the worst case, a smoke screen causing damage to future genuine trust building initiatives.
