⚠️ Note: these generally are unrefined notes taken on-the-fly while watching the event.

- Sentry squirrels alarm the group to predators. That sentry is at more risk, but critical to the group. Lack of group trust for the sentry means death to the group.

- In humans… and organizations…
-
- Notice what job descriptions say about trust.
- Effective teamwork demands trust
- Article: The Hidden Cost of Control

- Article: Happiness and the Productivity of Software Engineers
- What if we consistently told management/leadership things like “that is ultimately not good for the client, for society, for our team” etc and were listened to and trusted?
- Trust > Happiness > Better collaboration & performance
