Build Effective Relationships at Work

In today’s fast-paced and ever-changing workplace, trust is more important than ever. But after two decades of downsizing, restructuring, and managerial changes, trust within organzations is at an all-time low. How can leaders reverse the damage?

Trust & Betrayal in the Workplace  details a proven model to help leaders, employees and their organizations acknowledge betrayal, solidly recover from it, and rebuild trust. Through in-depth, practical guidelines it clearly explains the dynamics of trust and helps organization members develop a common language to discuss trust-related issues, to identify behaviors that build trust and behaviors that break trust, and to take action on trust-related issues. By creating a work environment where trust flourishes, you can dramatically:

• Improve relationships
• Increase performance and productivity
• Boost profits

Real-life examples illustrate trust-building principles and practices at work while practical exercises and tips help you immediately begin building effective work relationships, a productive work environment, and a healthy bottom line.

“Thank you for the roadmap to a place called TRUST.  May we never lose our way.”
—Sissy Franks, Vice President, Health Care Education Association, and Director, Outpatient Center & Education
