How Do You Know Who to Trust?

How Do You Know Who To Trust

​When you are wheeled into a hospital with a broken arm, you place your trust in multiple people and establishments. You trust that the nurses are giving you the right medication to prepare you, and that the doctor will make the right call on how to fix your arm. And yet you personally know relatively little about the specific treatments that are going to be applied. 

We defer to people all the time on different issues, whether it’s the doctor at a hospital, the weatherman for the forecast, or the baker who tells us the bread is fresh. Even in our domains of expertise many judgment calls are made by others, and we have to trust or distrust their data. 

Knowing who to trust is both a difficult and important skill. Trust the wrong person, and they can fill your head with wrong information. But trust no one, and you have to fix every broken bone yourself. So how can we determine who to trust – who is credible and who is not?

There are four key ways to determine whether a source or person is worth putting your trust in. In descending order of how good an indicator it is, you can:
  • Check against reality
  • Check against further research/reasoning
  • Check the source’s reliability in other areas
  • Check for signs of credibility signaling
Each of these is more of a spot check than perfectly predictive, and not all can be done in every case.

​We recently hosted an online event, “Impactful opportunities around and adjacent to charity entrepreneurship”. In this short talk and Q&A session, we covered topics like:
  • for-profit vs social vs nonprofit entrepreneurship,
  • how to get involved with the CE community, including opportunities in volunteering and mentorship
  • how to get jobs at early stage non-profits,
  • key talent gaps in the areas CE has researched,
  • best practices in nonprofit management, such as how to effectively measure impact.
Here is the video from the talk by Joey Savoie, our Co-founder and Director of Strategy, with a Q&A session hosted by Antonia Shann, our Editor & Communications Officer.
