research on trust and the workplace. She is currently completing a book chapter
for the 2017 Volume of Advances in Library Administration and Organization entitled Moving
from Fear to Trust in the Library Organization
Description: Every organization deals with situations
related to trust and fear. However, some organizations are more open about
these issues, while others are in deep denial. According to Doug Conant, CEO
for the Campbell Soup Company, "The first thing for any leader to do is to
inspire trust." This presentation will begin with the context of how our
research began: the trust issues encountered by the Kennesaw State University
and Southern Polytechnic State University consolidation. The presentation will
also describe how trust and fear are closely associated and how they impact the
work environment. Research by Deming will be highlighted, including his belief
that management has an obligation to "drive out fear from the workplace,
so that everyone may work effectively for the organization." Solutions by
Covey, including creating trust agreements will be presented. Library work
place examples, including consolidation and the new era of compliance
regulations will be highlighted. The presentation will include time for audience
questions and conversations.
