My fellow trust activist, Dominique O’Rourke, recently published her reflections on the results of the 2018 Edelman Trust Barometer. I enjoyed her “straight talk” perspective and agree with her conclusions.
There are obvious steps leaders can take to address the crisis of trust in our major institutions, but it requires strength of character to do the right thing. Often times the right choice flies in the face of the easiest or most popular path endorsed by those who tend to benefit the most from the decision being made. It’s time for leaders of all organizations to quit focusing on self-interest, stop appeasing the desires of the most powerful, and start serving the greater good of all stakeholders.
We don’t have a crisis of trust so much as we have a crisis of untrustworthy leaders.
Randy, thank you so much for reblogging my post. It means a lot coming from an expert like you. With grattitude and much respect,
Dominique
It’s my pleasure Dominique.
