Trust is the most basic quality at the heart of every relationship. We understand it naturally and our inner alarms go off when trust is damaged or absent. But most business leaders consider trust to be something intangible and difficult to quantify.

This book clearly demonstrates that trust is both measurable and manageable. It offers a practical guide to building and protecting trust, and making it part of the balance sheet of every organization. Natalie Doyle Oldfield has spent years studying trust. She lays out a practical, step-by- step approach that will enable everyone from the CEO to the front line employee to thrive in a culture of trust.

By taking a look at the science and research, case studies of trust broken and rebuilt, and the reflections of leading business figures, this book will show you how to create trusting relationships with customers, employees and stakeholders. It will show you how to make trust part of your core business strategy and how to make it pay off on the bottom line.



"Trust is an aspiration of every commercial and public enterprise. Without it, the wheels of interaction and repeat business possibilities can never be achieved. In this book, Natalie bridges the divides, points our specific pivot strategies and provides logical pathways to building Trust at all levels of a company...As companies push ahead with their digital enterprise strategies, customer and supply chain interfaces, intermediary agents including robot gateways and device specific apps will need to be sensitized to the brand mission and representation that earns trust each and every day.
