The HBS hosts discuss the meaning of trust, and how it is built, broken, and restored.
Trust acts as both a glue and a sieve, holding together our personal and professional worlds while filtering and determining the depth of our relationships. It’s the invisible thread weaving through the fabric of our lives, influencing everything from the simple exchanges of daily interactions to the intricate negotiations of politics and economics. How do we establish trust? What ruptures this fragile yet resilient element? And crucially, how do we repair it once it’s been fractured?

- A taxonomy of procrastination
- J. L. Austen, How to Do Things with Words (1962)
