THE NEW WORK PLAYBOOK

Trust: The Broken Spine

Listen Later
Bringing Trust Back in the Age of AI

In this episode:

  • Why trust is a volatile value
  • Why even leaders who founded their company on clear principles and values are subject to the same pressures every leader faces
  • Why three of the most common trust-breaking leadership behaviours are not communication failures
  • The distinction between self-trust and self-confidence

    • Can we bring trust back, especially in the age of AI?

    The episode answers that question.
    But the answer requires more from us than from the leaders we want to follow.
