The June Harvard Business Review has a great three-piece package on what has to be done to restore trust in business, including a graphic showing the highlights and lowlights of people's trust in the business world over the last 100 years. We're clearly at a low point now, with much of the population focused on how business came to destroy their future. The magazine pieces address: how corporate culture now needs to foster openness and candor; the role business schools will have to play in fixing our dilemma (increased focus on values and ethics; and stop telling future CEOs to concentrate only on the big picture and not the details); and rethinking trust—how it has to be earned and what constitutes trust-building behavior.
