42: Building a Trust-Based Culture // Barry Slauenwhite, Compassion Canada

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great." We couldn't agree more with this principle, and today's guest is a living example of it. Time and again, we've seen that building a culture of trust not only improves employees' daily workplace experience, but even leads to increased productivity and thus ministry impact.

Today, we're talking with Barry Slauenwhite, president of Compassion Canada, who has served there since 1983. Over the past several years, Compassion Canada has experienced 20% annual growth, while giving new promise and purpose to 1.4 million children around the world.

Barry has very intentionally created a culture of trust and integrity by casting a vision for the company's culture and then enforcing it relentlessly. He demonstrates trustworthiness and demands it in his employees, and today's discussion is jam-packed with wisdom from a humble leader.
