I’ve had the good fortune to interview a couple of respected leaders on the topic of trust and, on this, they all agree. Trust is absolutely everything.
My guest today, however, has taken a unique approach to the topic by combining both a business fable (a la Pat Lencioni, Bob Burg, or Skip Prichard) with the actual framework the fable helps to demonstrate.
The result is a delightful and thought-provoking book called Trusted Leader: 8 Pillars That Drive Results. The author is David Horsager.
Without trust, David says, people and businesses fail. Trusted Leader provides a framework for building trust so that you and your organizations can perform at your best.
The book teaches strategies to increase alignment, overcome attrition, and get absolutely clear on executing your top priorities. David offers a road map for how to become the most trusted expert in your industry.
