The Trust Equation: Your Next Steps

This is part 6 (the final part) of The Math of Trust: A Leader’s Guide. Read the headlines for the main ideas. If you want details or justification, dig into the paragraphs that follow the headline.

The easiest way to think about trust is to start with the trust equation. Then, keep score on whether you add points or take them away.

“Trust= (Time+ Consistency)”

Your interactions with your team add up both for individuals and the team.

Strategy execution and high performance both depend on trust. The effects have a financial impact.

Trust is a must-have ingredient to build a resilient, thriving company. These statements are easy to agree with; it takes discipline to put them into practice. I've tried to go a step further than generalizations in this guide. The trust equation and trust points are there to build trust step by step, day in and day out. Use them to make your actions with your team more intentional and consistent over time. Trust will grow.

I'd love to hear how the approach works for you.
