How to build stronger trust - Jordan's book - The Trust Trifecta
Much has been written about trust, but not about fostering it through meaningful connections built on powerful and impactful communication. This type of communication helps to build high-trust leaders and organizations and delivers concrete results: higher employee engagement, better-aligned organizations, more collaborative workforces, lower rates of attrition and stronger business performance.
Backed by compelling research, tangible examples and personal anecdotes, The Trust Trifecta explores leadership and connection-building through a new lens: communication. It examines three types of communication proven to establish and sustain meaningful and long-lasting connections.
