The Trusted Leader
by Robert M. Galford (MBA '76) and Anne
Seibold Drapeau (Free Press)
In their new book, The Trusted Leader: Bringing Out the Best in Your People and Your Company, authors Galford and Drapeau shed light on the tools that managers need to build, repair, and sustain trust inside an organization. Stressing that such trust requires much more than personal credibility, they provide self-assessment exercises that show executives where they currently stand as trusted leaders and where they could stand. Downturns, mergers, and restructurings are just a few of the crises that can break down trust across teams or among bosses, colleagues, and subordinates, and Galford and Drapeau have developed useful and succinct recommendations for coping with such difficult situations.
