In the preface, the author assures the reader that the why behind the book isn't broken trust. Three chapters into it and I really cannot be sure of that. There is too much emphasis on the negativity of mistrust in the book. I would prefer the content be structured more positively on the spirit and behaviours around the subject of trust.
As an example, refer the accusatory undertones in Chapter 3, where the author opts for the second person pronoun "you" in demonstrating "Behaviors that Diminish Trust", while using third person pronoun "they" for "Behaviors that Enhance Trust".
There are gems in the book that the reader can find after wading though unnecessary negative examples and complaints. For a book claiming to expound "how to create a culture that will ignite passion, engagement and innovation", dissonance like this is too disconcerting for me, making it pretty hard to trust the real intention of this book.
