Trust is the new currency in today’s connected, collaborative world. Contrary to what most people think, creating trust is a learnable skill. When trust is low, individuals become suspicious of each other, their boss, and of the organization. They guard communication, speculate, and disengage. As a result, productivity grinds to a crawl and costs increase.
When trust is high, communication, creativity, and engagement improve. Productivity speeds up and costs decrease as attention is redirected toward objectives instead of suspicion and frustration.
The 4A's is partnering with Franklin Covey to bring you their Speed of Trust® Foundations work session, designed for individuals to become competent in using the framework, language, and behaviors that lead to high-trust teams and organizations.
