Trust

Trust must exist at all levels and is critical for a successful organization. Recently I had the opportunity to hear Dave Horsager who has written a book entitled, The Trust Edge. He states, "everything of value is built on trust, from financial systems to relationships".

Dave offers the following eight pillars of trust:
1. Clarity
2. Compassion
3. Character
4. Competency
5. Commitment
6. Connection
7. Contribution
8. Consistency

If we continue to sharpen our trust edge, organizations, institutions, and homes will be transformed.

As you think about this topic, where can you sharpen your trust edge?
