Chamber U: Building & Extending Trust

Trust is not a “soft skill.” It is a hard business reality, and a requirement for organizations and individuals that need to forge meaningful relationships with their colleagues, constituents and communities. Trust is more than building transparency and embracing “corporate social responsibility.” It is the new mandate for doing business.
“The ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust with all stakeholders—customers, suppliers, investors and employees—is the critical leadership competency in the new global economy.”
-Stephen M. R. Covey,
