THE ONE THING THAT CHANGES EVERYTHING

There is one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy, and and civilization throughout the world - one thing which, if removed, will destroy the most powerful goverment, the most succesful business, the most thriving economy, the most influential leadership, the greatest friendship, the strongest character, the deepest love.
on the other hand, if developed and leveraged, that one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. yet, it is the least understood, he most neglected, and the most underestimated possibility of our time.
That one thing is trust.
Trust impacts us 24/7, 365 days a year. it undergirds and effects the quality of every relationship, every communication, every work project, every business venture, every effort in which are engaged. it changes the quality of every present moment and alters the trajectory and outcome of every future moment of our lives - both personally and professionally.
Contrary to what most people believe, trust is not some soft, illusive quality that you either have or you don't; rather, trust is pragmatic, tangible, actionable asset that you can create - much faster than you probably think possible .
While corporate scandals, terrorist threats, office politics, and broken relationship have created low trust on almost every front, i contend that the ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust is not only vital to our personal and interpersonal well-being; it is the key leadership competency of the new global economy.
I am convinced that in every situation, nothing is as fast as the speed of trust. and, contrary to the popular belief, trust is something you can do something about. in fact, you can get good creating it.
