52 Ideas That You Can Implement to Build Trust<\/strong><\/p>\n

Corey DuBrowa<\/a> the Senior VP of Global Communications at Starbucks offers this:<\/p>\n

The most potent contribution to trust is the commitment to taking meaningful action.<\/em>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cWell done is better than well said.\u201d<\/i>\u00a0 Benjamin Franklin<\/p>\n

We know him better as one of the Founding Fathers; an author, printer, politician, scientist, inventor, diplomat.\u00a0 He even bootstrapped a fire department (Philadelphia) and a university (Franklin & Marshall College).<\/em><\/p>\n

But more than this diverse list of descriptors and attributes, Benjamin Franklin was, first and foremost, a man of action.<\/em><\/p>\n

And as it happens, a leader whose principles mirror our own at Starbucks<\/a>. Great companies, enduring brands, build an emotional relationship with their customers based upon trust.\u00a0 So if the currency of leadership is transparency, than the basis for trust is the reservoir of good faith you build with your people and your customers, based upon your actions, everyday.<\/em><\/p>\n

It’s easy for\u00a0company leadership to “talk” trust. The hard part is walking it. Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz and his Senior VP of Communications are pretty good at doing both. \u00a0Thank you Corey. We hope our readers heed your advice.<\/p>\n
