Bullshit erodes trust - why we do it and how to stop!
Trust thought for today - a build on a previous post about the corrosive effect of corporate bullshit on trust!
Professor Ian McCarthy, lead author of the initial academic work on Bullshit, and I have got together to put together a quick Bullshit primer here on Medium - Bullshit erodes trust - why we do it and how to stop
It includes a run through of my Bullshit Analysis Reflection Framework (B.A.R.F.) which considers why we do it and also covers the practical guidance developed by Ian and his excellent C.R.A.P. framework to help organisations understand and prevent their worst language abuses.
Love also the term used here by Roger Miles of 'institutionalised gaslighting' to describe a specific type of corporate and political bullshit.
