Devriez-vous jamais cacher les risques d'une opération à vos subordonnés ?

Et si l'opération tourne mal ? Est-ce différent si vous êtes en guerre ? La confiance implique-t-elle le partage d'informations ?

Often commanders cannot foresee all of the risks of an operation. If you have a strong relationship built on trust, it might not be necessary for the commander to outline all of the risks. However, people might be less likely to trust their superior if they believe important information is being withheld from them.

Patrick Mileham, ‘Unlimited Liability and the Military Covenant’, Journal of Military Ethics, 9 (2010), p29
