Trust is the lubrication that makes it possible for organizations to work.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0—Warren Bennis<\/p>\n

In 2013 Trust Across America-Trust Around the World (TAA-TAW)<\/a> formed a Trust Alliance<\/a> that has grown to several hundred global professionals from for-profit and not for-profit organizations of all sizes, as well as leaders from media, government and sports; academics and researchers; leadership, organizational development and culture change to compliance, ethics and trust professionals, consultants and speakers.<\/p>\n

We recently asked our members to comment on what the Alliance represents to them and how they benefit from membership:<\/p>\n

(The Trust Alliance) is\u2026a collection of like-minded professionals advocating for the importance of, and need for, developing higher levels of trustworthy behavior in leaders and organizations around the world. I belong to the Alliance for two main reasons. One \u2013 it allows me to be part of something bigger than myself. It\u2019s a badge of honor, so to speak, to say that I stand along dozens of other professionals who share the same ideals about the importance of trust. We are standard-bearers of what trust could\/should look like in personal and organizational relationships. Second \u2013 it\u2019s a good network for me to access…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Another member and \u00a0former public company CEO summed it up best:<\/p>\n

We are a group of leaders who believe that many of our organizational and leadership challenges can be addressed by showing others that building trust is a huge game changer for people and organizations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

And finally….<\/p>\n

(The Trust Alliance) has unequivocally deepened and enlivened our company mission, administration, and operations.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

TAA-TAW is proud of the work our members are doing and the resources we are creating, both individually and collectively. But perhaps most importantly, we are changing the way organizations think about trust. It’s not a soft skill, but rather a hard asset that when implemented as a business strategy, brings out the best in both leaders\u00a0and their organizations.<\/p>\n
