Haiku for project managers - trust

Categories: haiku, trust

Think of "trust" as Humpty Dumpty. Once it's broken it can't be put back together.

Always be honest /
Getting a team to trust us /
Ensures our success

Telling the truth isn't always the easiest path to take. Messengers sometimes get shot. It's better to honest than be forced to manage a lie.
