Recommendation

Dennis S. Reina and Michelle L. Reina discuss the importance of having a strong sense of trust in the workplace. They advocate avoiding both the major and minor betrayals that undermine trust. Creating an environment that promotes trust contributes to effectiveness in the workplace, especially during times of rapid change. The book discusses the nature and effect of trust. It is enhanced with a variety of exercises that promote workplace dialogues and help people think through the issue of trust. Many of these exercises are especially suited for teams, work groups and divisions. The exercises facilitate discussing and resolving problems in a more trusting atmosphere. This well-written, easy-to-read book is directed to front-line supervisors and unit mangers, although it will also interest top management and company owners. getAbstract recommends this book to team builders in organizations of all sizes.

Take-Aways

  • We need trust in the workplace more than ever, because people are feeling betrayed.
  • Recent great changes contributed to the feelings of distrust.
  • When people lack trust in their organization, they don’t work as effectively or as productively.
