The result is the empty suggestion box that I see in so many break rooms. Bridging the gap means connecting individual self-interest with organizational interest through freedom and ownership. So ownership must be closer to clarity and truth, and freedom closer to meaning and trust. With this action, the connection between truth and trust is being destroyed, because rules are being changed in the absence of the clarity and meaning necessary for discipline. Eliminating the gap between individual discipline and organizational rules is accomplished through innovation, a function of individual knowledge and creativity.
Truth is fluid.
It changes over time, because the elements contributing to it change. It is about the clarity of opportunity and a basis for ownership in light of changes in the world, not the bending of language. Trust is fixed. It depends on a commitment to truth. Reason is necessary for leaders and innovators to take ownership of opportunity, and to exercise their freedom to resolve it, together, in the interest of prosperity.
