Recommendation

All relationships require trust, including professional situations where you sell to or advise other people. How do you define and cultivate trust? Consultants Charles H. Green and Andrea P. Howe start with an equation and use it as a template for practical, trust-building behavior in this worthy companion to the best-selling classic, The Trusted Advisor, which Green co-authored. Despite some confusing logic in the first section and a bit of repetition, this manual proves a thorough and thoughtful guide for building trust in a business setting. getAbstract recommends it to those seeking to establish and strengthen trust-based client relationships, and to readers of The Trusted Advisor looking to put that book’s counsel into practice.

Take-Aways

  • Business relationships in which you serve an advisory role – as a consultant, salesperson, partner or service provider – require trust.
  • You can’t create trust without taking risks, including the risk of opening up.
  • Your trustworthiness equals the sum of “credibility, reliability [and] intimacy,” divided by “self-orientation.”
