Features: High-trust organizations are like a flock of migrating geese. Even when changing formation and direction, each goose can adjust its speed in perfect harmony, always maintaining a beautiful, coordinated, efficient, goal-oriented, and vibrant formation, ultimately completing thousands of kilometers of flight. In contrast, low-trust organizations are like herds of sheep being driven to the pasture. Without a shepherd's guidance, they may stop moving at any time, advancing slowly and chaotically, with no clear purpose. This book uses the methods of creating performance through trust to guide enterprises or various organizations stuck in the "sheep herd" dilemma. In reality, Mr. Li Huishen, Director of Liwayway Group Hong Kong and Chairman of Southern Liwayway, has demonstrated the practical value of this book through his successful management practices. Several years ago, after reading the English version in the UK, he adopted the concept and model of "trust" from the book as the core of his "Automatic Wave" management model and promoted and applied it vigorously in his company. Over the past five years, his company's performance has increased more than 20 times.
Do you want your company (or any organization) to execute efficiently and be vibrant? Learn from the power of geese! High-trust organizations are successful organizations. They attract the most efficient employees and the most loyal customers. Their costs are also low because they do not waste time and money on hierarchies, political behavior, and double supervision, which low-trust organizations require. High-trust organizations are fair, and employees are happy to work there. However, they treat those who misuse trust strictly, regardless of their position in the organization.
The "power of trust" is not a synonym for "delegation," nor is it just about "being kind." It is reliability, feedback, accountability, and trustworthiness. Larry Reynolds has successfully "brought the concept of trust into real work," and this practical guide focuses on the four principles of creating performance through trust: ★Competence ★Openness ★Reliability ★Fairness
But how can trust be established, managed, and maintained? This book will guide you step by step to learn the skills you need in the new work environment, including eight practices essential for high-trust organizations: ★Choose the right people ★Lead decisively ★Tell them the value of numbers ★Act with integrity ★Make them responsible ★Give feedback ★Understand what they care about ★Keep learning
This book is a practical guide for addressing important issues in teams, organizations, and society. It contains many case studies and actionable guidance that you can directly apply to your work.
