Building trust as an ENRICH professional in a predominantly white institution requires navigating a set of specific dynamics that general trust-building frameworks do not address -- the higher competence scrutiny, the vulnerability-competence trade-off, the asymmetric repair requirements across identity lines, and the specific obligations and costs of genuine care within ENRICH communities. This edition profiles trust-building capacity through that lens.
Why This Edition Exists
Bell and Nkomo's research on ENRICH professionals in organizational settings documents how the five dimensions of trust -- consistency, transparency, competence, benevolence, and repair -- operate differently for ENRICH professionals in institutions where identity shapes the standards of proof required for trust. This edition accounts for those differences.
