A Cognitive Leap Trust
In a conversation with Greg Thoman, Chief Human Resources Officer, Don Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer, discusses being pressured by Board members to get rid of members of his leadership team. Don has a very strong professional and personal relationship with some members of his team. The Board is making recommendations for Don to eliminate certain members of his team in order to address the SEC requirement surrounding issuing an IPO. Don has a great deal of trust in the effectiveness of his team and explains that his team has proven itself as being successful on many occasions and does not feel this time will be any different.
"A Cognitive Leap Trust is defined as reciprocal faith in others' intentions and behavior.35 Experts on the subject explain the reciprocal (give-and-take) aspect of trust as follows: When we see others acting in ways that imply that they trust us, we become more disposed to reciprocate by trusting in them more. Conversely, we come to distrust those whose actions appear to violate our trust or to distrust us.36" (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2004)
Cohesiveness
During a meeting on March 8, 2005 The Gene One leadership team had differences of opinions regarding the company's decision to offer an IPO. The offering of the IPO is being recommended to help the company generate capital for new development, advertisement, and marketing to help the company stay successful. Based on these differences of opinion members of the leadership team began to take sides regarding the direction of the company creating a lack of cohesiveness.
"Cohesiveness is a process whereby a sense of we-ness emerges to transcend individual differences and motives" (Kinicki & Kreitner, 2004).
