Trustology: The Art and Science of Leading High-Trust Teams

by Richard Fagerlin

Overview

Are your working relationships characterized by mutual respect, innovation, collaboration, healthy conflict, and an open invitation for feedback? Or have you experienced time and energy being wasted on turf wars, silo mindsets, suspicion, misunderstandings, and low employee engagement?

In Trustology, Richard Fagerlin challenges readers to take responsibility for the one thing that determines the success of every business and interpersonal endeavor: trust. He casts a vision for high-functioning relationships, both personal and professional, and shares the three components necessary for trust to flourish. Finally, he gives leaders a simple four-step process to lead their groups into becoming high-trust teams.

Includes a Trust Factor assessment for teams and individuals.

Compelling, challenging, and entertaining, this will become the definitive guide on how to build and lead high-trust teams.

U.S. House of Representatives 1997-2003 - The Honorable Bob Schaffer

This book is thought-provoking, insightful, and rich with practical ideas. We have used these principles within our organization, and they work!

CEO, Stratton Equity Cooperative - Dan Slinger

I've known and worked with Richard for over fourteen years. He has a unique ability to get a big-picture point across to a broad spectrum of people in a simple, clear manner. After all of Richard's experience working with executive teams and employees around the world, if he sees trust as the most common denominator of successful teams, then I know I need to give it the attention it deserves in my organization.

president and CEO, Skyland Grain - David Cron

?As I've reviewed the relationships I have experienced over the past forty-plus years as a military officer, public school teacher, principal, and leadership consultant, I would have to say that Richard Fagerlin is precisely on target with his insight that trust is the essential ingredient for positive relationships. He has captured the essence of trust and the courage it takes to be a high-trust leader committed to developing cohesive, effective, and highly productive teams.

Brigadier General, US Army (Ret) - Howard A. Art Dillon, Jr.

From the years I've spent developing leaders around the world, I can testify that trust is one of the most relevant issues in business and in life, and unfortunately one of the least understood. Enter Trustology. This book is full of stick-with-you principles to help you take ownership of trust, build trust with others, and develop a high-trust culture in your team. Any leader, team member, or individual who wants strong, successful relationships needs to read this book.
