The Challenge
Cultures of trust can only thrive above-board. Trust is a learnable skill that can be earned. Teams and organisations that operate with high trust significantly outperform those who do not cultivate trust at the core of their culture. Developing trust helps team members become energised and engaged. They collaborate more effectively, operate faster, and achieve sustainable results. Trust comes with practise and constant reinforcement. Complex educational problems cannot be solved with the stroke of a pen, a leadership mandate, a training programme, restructuring, or changing a system. Although these elements can be helpful; all grand strategies must eventually degenerate down to real work done by real people.
‘The Speed of Trust Transformation Process’ is leverage that dramatically impacts educational outcomes through changing the performance of individuals and teams. Creating a high trust, highly engaged culture is the ultimate, long-term competitive advantage.

The Trust Solution
The vital currency in today’s collaborative world is trust. Stephen Covey in his best-selling book ‘The Speed of Trust’, affirms that you can forego the slow, time–killing bureaucracies put in place because of mistrust, and start accelerating forwards by moving at the speed of trust. The solution is to “Replace suspicion with productivity and uncertainty with prosperity through trust.” Communication, creativity, and engagement can only improve with trust. Productivity speeds up and costs decrease as attention is redirected toward objectives instead of suspicion and frustration. In Leading at the Speed of Trust leaders become competent in using the framework, language, and behaviours that lead to high-trust teams. Leading at the Speed of Trust 3.0 will provide the mindset, skillset, and toolset that will measurably increase a leader’s ability to deliver results in a way that inspires trust.
