What this episode is about and why you should care
When we think about the future of work “Trust” falls flat and center as a topic that must be addressed, especially since it seems as though trust today seems to be at an all time low. We used to do business with a handshake and today we use massive legal document-based transactions which shows how companies and individuals have less trust between one another. We need trust among employees and among managers. Without trust we can innovate, collaborate, share, communicate, or work. So what has happened to trust over the past few years? How did we get to where we are today? What does the future of trust look like? And what do organizations need to be thinking about to help build trust among their employees and managers? Here to talk about trust is Charles Green who spent most of his career focusing on trust and trust-based businesses. He is one of the smartest guys I know and provides a fascinating and non-conventional perspective on what trust is and how to create it.
