“Trust might be granted,

but it is not guaranteed.”

I said this on stage

last week as I spoke to

350 accountants, auditors,

business consultants and tax specialists

at Haynie & Company, one of

the most impressive companies

and cultures I’ve encountered

in my career.

Those who work at Haynie & Co.

absolutely love it.

This was echoed again and again

with everyone I interviewed in

advance and met on site at the event.

“We’re not micromanaged.”

“We have a lot of autonomy.”

“As long as we get our work done….”

A key counterpart to trust

is accountability; it’s respect

for that freedom,

since as we all know,

trust can be lost in an instant.
