Riassunto

Based on IABC sponsored research in over 60 organizations, this guide provides an easy-to-administer model and instrument for measuring and managing trust in organizations. An explanation and practical applications accompany each of the model's five critical dimensions of trust: Competence, Openness and Honesty, Concern for Others, Reliability, and Identification. Using rich case examples and interviews, the book examines diverse approaches and opportunities for building trust--in peer groups, virtual environments, and with managers/supervisors, and top management. Individual interviews represent diverse organizational positions, responsibilities, perspectives, and geographic locations.

Note: CD-ROM/DVD and other supplementary materials are not included as part of Kindle edition of this book.

Praise for Building the High-Trust Organization

"Full of rich insights into what makes both interpersonal as well as organizational trust work (or not). . . . These authors understand that leadership is a relationship, with trust as the glue, which sticks people and things together. They make their argument that trust is the main thing. Trust me on that one!"
