In case you missed it in the article, the author seems to address this in the section titled 'Effectively Managing the Norm'.

Personally I use a show-don't-tell approach, and what I saw in the article was a few words at the beginning telling how we should trust people, followed by a giant section of showing how we actually don't.

The author went from "trust them to do the right thing" to "Set clear deadlines and regularly check in on their progress. Make them accountable for those deadlines" real fast

The opposite is “set vague deadlines and don’t check in on their progress.”

You’ll be accountable for team deadlines regardless - would you rather be allowed to sail over a deadline you didn’t know existed and be reprimanded for it by higher ups, or have a clear picture of deadlines and someone checking up on progress?
