Trust & Betrayal in the Workplace (Volume 1 of 2) (EasyRead Super Large 24pt Edition): Building Effective Relationships in Your Organization - Softcover
This book is about trust: the power when it exists, the problems when it doesn't, the pain when it is betrayed and the opportunities for its renewal. Our purpose in writing this book is to help people at all levels of any organization create, support, and, if necessary, rebuild trust in themselves and with others. This book is about creating more productive, engaging, and rewarding work environments for all, arising from work relationships built on trust, infused with spirit - relationships that inspire leaders and employees alike. The principles, practices, tools, and techniques offered in Trust & Betrayal in the Workplace apply to anyone, in any kind of relationship, at any level of responsibility, and in any kind of setting. Today, more than ever, there is a need for trust in the workplace. Our processes are growing in complexity, the global market poses increased demands on people, and collaboration is needed like never before....Trust takes time to develop; it is easy to lose and hard to regain. It is a fragile yet indispensable element in any relationship. By first trusting in themselves, it is possible for leaders to develop caring, genuine relationships and build trust with their people and for employees to develop effective relationships with one another.

Review:
Dennis and Michelle Reina, principals in an organisation development firm, believe more productive and rewarding work environments will emerge if relationships that define them are truly built on trust. The problem they see is years of "downsizing, restructuring, and reengineering or of upsizing, mergers, and growth" that frequently result in minor misreadings of intention along with major breaches of promise--followed all too often by seriously diminished employee performance. The solution they propose in Trust and Betrayal in the Workplace is that leaders must develop a full understanding of the complex dynamics involved, and commit to practices that support building trust with employees. The book addresses the aspects of betrayal and trust, with the bulk focused on "transactional trust" (which they define as "managing expectations, establishing boundaries, delegating appropriately, encouraging mutually serving intentions, keeping agreements, and being congruent in our behavior") and ways to build it among teams and groups as well as entire organisations. The authors conclude with a section on "transformational trust", the ultimate stage attained when trust within these levels "reaches a critical point and increases exponentially, becoming self-generating and synergistic". This is intelligent food for thought, supported by tools and techniques that can put it into practice. -- Howard Rothman, Amazon.com
