Trust as a Leadership Advantage
Trust is a crucial - foundational - component of performance. When we’re with people we don’t trust, our defences automatically re up. We instinctively start behaving in ways that distance us (avoiding spending time with them, limiting how much work we have to do together, opting for email and messaging rather than talking in person). Or which allow for pre-emptive defence or self- protection (limiting our emotional, reputational or financial investment).
Understanding how and why people trust, and how to navigate the dynamics of building and sustaining trust is rapidly becoming a critical leadership skill. This book sheds light on why it matters, how it works and how to begin.
Please note that this book is a curated excerpt from the book The Currency of Connection, how trust transforms life, relationships and work.
