Trust is not merely a soft, social virtue: rather, trust is a pragmatic, hard-edged, economic, and actionable asset that you can create. There is a compelling business case for trust.
Teams, organizations and schools that operate with high trust significantly out-perform teams, organizations and schools with low trust. This has been proven in dozens of studies, across a multitude of industries and sectors.
The Speed of Trust Practice helps schools better manage change and create high-performing teams that are agile, collaborative, innovative, and engaged.
Trust isn’t a quality you either have or you don’t, it’s a learnable skill. Educators and schools that operate with high trust significantly outperform those who do not cultivate trust at the core of their culture.
Developing trust helps your faculty and staff become energized and engaged. They collaborate more effectively, operate faster, and achieve sustainable results.
COMPLEX problems cannot be solved in schools with the stroke of a pen, a leadership mandate, a training program, restructuring, or changing a system. These things can be helpful, however, all grand strategies must eventually degenerate down to real work done by real people. Creating a high trust, highly engaged culture is the ultimate, long-term competitive advantage.
