I’ve experienced trust debt first hand. In my case, I over-promised as a result of not having enough technical knowledge to estimate project timelines. I am currently rebuilding trust, but what helped me was taking a step back to learn more about the technical requirements for a project and further running timelines from my engineers with my manager before committing to management. (I’m sharing my experience in case someone needs it)
Thanks for sharing this, Fumnanya. It gave a whole lot more clarity to the concept of Trust Debt.

This was exceptionally good. I hadn’t even considered the idea that trust debt existed and manifested in many ways. Thanks for this reminder.
