Trust affects everything. How we lead. How we communicate. How we collaborate. How safe people feel to contribute. And ultimately, how organisations perform. Yet despite its importance, most organisations still leave trust to chance. In this first part of a special two-part conversation, I speak with Dr Dennis Reina and Dr Michelle Reina, pioneers in the field of workplace trust and authors of The Art Of Trust Building, to explore why trust has become one of the defining leadership challenges of our time. Together, we unpack: Why leaders are finally waking up to trust The hidden erosion caused by small behaviours The role of vulnerability and self-awareness Why self-trust matters in the age of AI How disruption changes human connection And why trust must become an intentional daily discipline This conversation is thoughtful, practical, deeply human and shows why trust is more relevant than ever. And in Part 2, which follows, we move into the practical frameworks and behaviours that help leaders intentionally build and repair trust at work. - more - Key Takeaways Trust Is Earned, Not Assumed.
