Listen to this post: In many ways, I am a naive person. I’ve been told as much. The word “naive” has many definitions that I won’t bore you with now—the current word’s first usage is documented as the very late 16th or early 17th century—but let’s just say that one meaning I invest in the word “naive” is “belief,” especially in the sense that people are who they say they are and mean what they say. I’m sure you can already see the problem. Knowing what we know about people and the world, such belief leads to your being taken advantage of, and I confess to allowing this to happen, even now.
Beautiful post! I love the idea of naive leadership. I also tend to trust others easily and have had my share of misadventures that you would except. But I’ve also had even more wonderful experiences and connections because I was willing to trust. Now you have me thinking about naive leadership as a parent and entrepreneur.
