Trust & Inspire

Featuring Bestselling Author Stephen M. R. Covey

Trust is the one thing that changes everything.

Trust is a priceless commodity, and it’s an essential ingredient in any healthy organizational culture. What’s more, your leadership team plays a critical role in building that trust. Good leaders pave the way for a high-trust culture through their behavior in the workplace and approach to developing relationships.

When people experience mutual trust with their organization’s leaders, performance improves dramatically. They become more energized and engaged, collaborate better with their peers, work more efficiently, develop more creative solutions, and achieve sustainable, high-impact results.

The good news is that trust isn’t an innate characteristic—it’s a skill everyone can learn. FranklinCovey’s research-backed content, expert consultants, and innovative technology will empower your leaders to cultivate trust and hold both themselves and your organization to high standards.

Essential Trust-Building Skills

By demonstrating integrity and empathy, as well as by listening to others to foster understanding and respect, your leaders can actively build trust with their teams.

Integrity and Accountability

Great leaders earn and extend trust to their teams when they take ownership of outcomes, model transparency and honesty, and create a safe environment for people to take risks.

Active Listening and Respect

Great leaders use their active listening skills to signal respect, foster deep understanding, and build strong relationships with their team members.

Courage and Consideration

Great leaders balance courage with consideration, modeling empathy and compassion while maintaining high expectations for their teams.
