The Leadership Trust Audit

HIGH TRUST INDIVIDUALS AND TEAMS PERFORM BETTER. THE DATA PROVES IT.

Use behavioural data to understand how trusted you really are – and what you can do to increase your influence, impact and effectiveness.

High-trust companies aren’t just nice places to work; they outperform their competitors. Research shows that organizations with high levels of trust have 50% higher productivity, 50% more loyalty and 40% less burnout. In other words, trust drives collaboration, innovation and retention—the very things executives care about.

The Leadership Trust Audit

Evaluates trust across three critical dimensions:

1.

Credibility

Perceived competence, experience and task-relevant knowledge

2.

Character

Perceived consistency, honesty and fairness

3.

Connection

Perceived care, goodwill and alignment with others’ interests
