REFERENCES
“There’s no doubt that trust is imperative in any relationship and business is no different. It underpins all business relations. Trustworthy leaders drive success, put teams at ease; effective change management is based on behaviors that build trust. If trust is missing, no leadership can succeed.
In an age when everything seems to be accelerating, trust is particularly difficult to build but critical. The question is how to establish it amid the ever-changing circumstances we live in today.
An important book that discusses an underestimated subject.”

“As discussed in the book, Trust is critical for all businesses especially with all the “noise” of websites, social media, and SEO copywriting – every business seems to be fantastic and trustworthy – when you I know this is not true. The “eight pillars of trust” teaches leaders how to look at the process of building Trust in achievable steps. The book further inspires leaders to clearly identify the “Trust” element (or lack of) within a business – to develop it as a clear objective that is measurable and therefore improvable – the book refers to studies highlighting where “significant benefits” in every key performance indicator were achieved when organisation invest in Trust.”
“I love the bold notions like “Control is not Leadership” – I whole heartly believe and personally used in every role I have had since I started working – I was managing 100 people per shift at 18 using a Listen and Teaching model. “Trust Intelligence”, as described in the book as well as the fifth intelligence “Wisdom Intelligence” should inspire you to shift away from ‘command and control’ to a ‘trust and inspire’ leadership model.”
“I not only recommend reading this book but using it as a reference as you develop and build your business on the Trust model.”

“This book is a critical reminder of the foundation of our “True North”, whether that be building trust in our professional , community and personal capacities. As the world around us continues to become more complex at a faster rate, we need to leverage the trust we build to see through such complexity and in doing so continue to build a better and more sustainable future for all generations. Never before has this intangible asset of trust been so important.”

“In The Trust Paradigm Geoff and Mark discuss one of the most actual issues. Without TRUST the human essence is missing from business and without that business is not able to bring humanity forward. The Trust Paradigm is a must to read for everyone who is involved in the business world as it is high time to make a significant and holistic change. I believe that we could live in a better world if all players of the economy would follow the proposals of The Trust Paradigm.”

“Why should you read this book? Well if you think cryptocurrencies are the first universal store of value, think again! Trust is the only truly universal currency with common, measurable value across all social, economic and political borders.”
“The presence of trust in a country, society or organisation leads to people choosing to settle, commit and work hard to maintain the trust paradigm as something with tangible benefit to them.”
Trust is the natural regulator for relationships, setting desirable standards for behaviour and engendering mutually understood boundaries. Trust creates equilibrium yet also enables all forms of progress, given that people are comfortable to take the risks required in order to advance. Each period in history characterised by peace, prosperity and progress is synonymous with a prevalence of trust. Every major brand that has enjoyed global success could not have achieved this without creating trust across cultural, political and economic borders. I would argue that the value of every intangible asset on a multinational’s balance sheet is created by trust!”
“Conversely, the absence of trust produces dysfunctional relationships where neither party feels an obligation to regulate their behaviour since their connection has no value. The absence of trust leads to people taking action to restore this most desirable of paradigms. Consider the extreme instances of this where people will leave organisations, exit relationships, overthrow regimes or uproot themselves from their country of birth. Simply put, the absence of trust is characterised by uncertainty, conflict and ultimately chaos.”

“Trust is one of the most precious and difficult to come by resources in organizations. It requires high levels of authenticity and vulnerability as a foundation for what the authors beautifully formulate as Trust=Transperancy + Relationship + Experience. Then, in an organizational context, that intimate complexity has to be wrapped by the right decisions. This book does an amazing job of exploring the why, what, and how of this trust complexity with great clarity.”

“Having had the pleasure of reading Freedom after the Sharks in which the author takes you on a real life journey of no-hidden truths about life and business. I was then keen to read Purposeful Discussions, a book that totally gripped me from start to finish. It really empathised the importance of communication, strategy, growth and planning. This book gives you the guidance as well as the tools you need to help devise effective solutions to the issues we face in business on a day-to-day basis.”
“I must admit that I cannot wait for the release of The Trust Paradigm, because if it is anything like the last two books I have read by this author then I know I am in for a very enjoyable read.”
