Building the High–Trust Organization: Strategies for Supporting Five Key Dimensions of Trust

Praise for Building the High–Trust Organization "Full of rich insights into what makes both interpersonal as well as organizational trust work (or not). . . . These authors understand that leadership is a relationship, with trust as the glue, which sticks people and things together. They make their argument that trust is the main thing. Trust me on that one!" Barry Z. Posner, Ph.D., professor of leadership and former dean, Leavey School of Business, Santa Clara University; coauthor, The Leadership Challenge, and A Leader?s Legacy; and visiting professor, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology "The authors? insights will have you thinking long and hard about how to build capacity within your own corporate cultures. I enjoyed this book immensely." Gail T. Fairhurst, author of The Power of Framing: Creating the Language of Leadership "A valuable read for leaders and leadership scholars, this book is filled with poignant examples of trust (and mistrust) in a variety of organizations. The trust model and Organizational Trust Index are wonderful tools." Ronald E. Riggio, Henry R. Kravis Professor of Leadership and Organizational Psychology, Claremont McKenna College "The authors draw upon their expertise as researchers and consultants to provide a blueprint for leaders who want to build organizational trust, which is the key to organizational excellence." Craig Johnson, professor of leadership studies, George Fox University and author, Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership "This book provides a pragmatic roadmap for leaders interested in building trust in their organizations and teams and, by so doing, provides the foundation for sustainable performance."
