“To dress a crisis of trust, you have to address the causes of that crisis.” YES!

[taryn @thebrightappceo]

This conversation is really important for our work @BrightAppTweets. To address a crisis of trust, you have to address the causes of that crisis, not make some wild guesses about some other things that might work. More on this in our newsletter on Thursday! (End ���)
