Trust is an important foundation for any relationship. It is something that we need to build with family, friends, and peers; and it is definitely something we need to develop as leaders.
We have discussed trust in many ways throughout this program. Reading The Speed of Trust in a previous class gave us insight into the different facets of trust.
