Synopsis

A leadership fable, The Trusted Leader is the story of a new young leader, Carlos Lopez, who gets promoted to supervise his peers. He gets conflicting advice from his boss about how to take charge, and it backfires. Confused, Carlos seeks out the best leader he’s ever known, Coach Jack Dempsey. The two agree to meet regularly talk about leadership at a local restaurant. The Coach teaches Carlos about how to lead, while Carlos and the Coach learn about each other’s secret, sad, but ultimately formative pasts. Finally, the Coach teaches Carlos about the Trust Triangle—the critical key to leadership. "Trust is among the most important words in the vocabulary of leadership. With trust, there’s not much you can’t get done. Without it, even the smartest people in the world can get little done. In The Trusted Leader, Steve Gladis helps the reader clearly frame and visualize the basic concept of trust. This is a book I can and will recommend to clients in search of what makes good leadership work: "Trust." Marshall Goldsmith
