The Thin Book of Trust, Third Edition - by Charles Feltman (Paperback)

About the Book

"Feltman's phenomenal bestseller with almost 100,000 copies sold across two editions outlines in a very simple and quick way the art of building trust between people in organizations as a core essential workplace competency. Trust is not something that happens naturally but is a skill that must be developed and practiced in order to be effective. But unlike the many skills that are merely nice to have, the ability to operate and move with trust is the most important of all, as no leader or organization can move forward without trust at the heart of its operational processes"--

"Trust is a complex and nuanced concept, but too often it is applied as an over-simplified generalization that lacks utility. Feltman provides a uniquely powerful framework to explore what is hiding below the surface of trust, what key factors contribute to building or eroding it, and how a shared understanding of these drivers can have an immediate, positive impact on the performance of any team."
