Trust is essential in an effective workforce. But what is trust? The usual definitions are ambiguous, so dealing with a trust problem can be a painful process that triggers defensiveness, blame, and more distrust. Discussing a trust problem with your colleagues or employees can be difficult because they may feel you’re judging their character. In this succinct, down-to-earth manual, leadership coach Charles Feltman avoids framing trustworthiness as a character issue. Instead, he redefines it as an assessment of someone’s actions in certain areas of performance: caring, sincerity, reliability, and competence. He then outlines steps for addressing these specific behaviors and building trusting relationships.

In a trusting environment, participants engage in vigorous debate on proposals, making a sincere, collegial effort...
