And look, I understand that all of these relationship dynamics are not the same. There's the formal hierarchy in a work relationship. I would say there's not necessarily a formal hierarchy in personal relationships, but it depends on your relationship. Sometimes there's definitely a boss in that relationship.

Exactly. There are rules. But the point is, even though the places in which the relationships exist and the dynamics may be different, it's still human beings attempting to feel psychologically safe with other human beings.

I mean, I love the way you phrased that, which is, you know, how can a leader be consistent and follow through? The answer is be consistent and follow through. What's important to acknowledge when we talk about consistency is really there's two dynamics. There's intensity and there's consistency, right? Intensity tends to be just that short, easily measured, you know, fixed in time consistency.

So let's go to the dentist. I can make an appointment to go to the dentist. I know I have to go twice a year. I know pretty much what's going to happen. And it's an intense experience, and it's a beginning, the middle, and its end, and it's over. And to be healthy, to have healthy teeth and healthy gums, you have to go to the dentist twice a year, right?

But if that's all you did, all your teeth would fall out. The intensity is not enough. The consistency is what keeps your teeth healthy. You have to brush your teeth every single day for two minutes in the morning and two minutes in the evening. Now, what does brushing your teeth for two minutes do? It does absolutely nothing unless you do it all the time.

But what if I'm tired and I don't feel like brushing my teeth and I wanna go to bed? Can I do that? Yes, you can. Well, how many nights can I take off? I don't know and neither does any dentist. And so it's the same in human dynamics. You can't repair trust with intensity alone. Like you can't screw up and violate someone's trust and then simply buy them flowers and everything's good.

You can't simply get down and say, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, and everything's fine. Those are intense experiences. You still may need to do those things, but it's the little things that by themselves actually do very little, but done over time, demonstrate that you can repair any kind of broken trust if you need to.
