Episode #147: Trust is the Metric That Matters
About This Episode
Trust isn’t a nice-to-have—it’s your competitive edge. Gallup’s latest data shows trust in most major institutions is scraping all-time lows, making it harder than ever for people to know who or what to believe. But here’s the upside: when trust is rare, leaders who earn it become unforgettable. In this episode, we break down what trust really looks like at work, how to measure it, and the small, consistent actions that make you the leader people choose to follow.
We Want to Hear From You!
🎙️ Ask your team: “What’s one thing I could do to earn more trust from you this month?”
