Building Trust in Leadership: Trust is the foundation of effective leadership. Leaders who prioritize trust can foster better team collaboration and drive organizational success.
The Trust Edge Model: David Horsager introduces the Trust Edge model, which outlines eight pillars of trust. These pillars include clarity, compassion, character, competency, commitment, connection, contribution, and consistency.
Improving Employee Engagement: High levels of trust within an organization lead to improved employee engagement. Engaged employees are more productive, innovative, and committed to their roles.
Trust and Customer Loyalty: Trust is crucial for building long-term customer relationships. Companies that are trusted by their customers see higher levels of loyalty and repeat business.
Measuring Trust: David emphasizes the importance of measuring trust within an organization. Using tools and surveys to assess trust levels can help identify areas for improvement and track progress over time.

"Leaders don’t realize that a lack of trust is their biggest expense. They often don't see how a lack of trust affects EVERY aspect of the business!”– David Horsager
