This exercise is designed to help students identify patterns of trust within their network of work and/or personal relationships. The exercise examines three types of trust (communication-based, contractual-based, and competence-based) and is intended to help students gain insight into their own propensity to trust others, as well as their perception of the trustworthiness of the important people with whom they interact most often. The exercise is a self-assessment tool and may be used with MBA and executive audiences.
