Think about that. If leaders do not give their time or expertise to their stakeholders, they should not expect more than minimal progress in any facet of their enterprise. Unfortunately, low generosity is the &#8220;norm&#8221; not the exception in the *age of diminishing trust, and financial philanthropy is not a sufficient substitute.<\/p>\n<p>As the CEO of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.trustacrossamerica.com\">Trust Across America<\/a>, and in celebration of our 10th anniversary, I am pledging to freely give two hours per week of my time to share the organizational trust expertise I have developed over this ten-year period.<\/p>\n<p>Email me at <a href=\"&#109;&#x61;i&#x6c;t&#x6f;:&#x62;a&#x72;b&#97;&#x72;&#97;&#x40;t&#x72;u&#x73;t&#x61;c&#x72;o&#115;&#x73;&#97;&#x6d;e&#x72;i&#x63;a&#x2e;c&#x6f;m\">&#x62;a&#x72;&#x62;a&#x72;&#x61;&#64;&#x74;&#x72;u&#x73;&#x74;a&#x63;&#x72;o&#x73;&#115;a&#x6d;&#101;r&#x69;&#99;a&#x2e;&#99;o&#x6d;<\/a> , message me on LinkedIn or post your question right here.
