Trust Works! audiobook

I admittedly picked it up with someone else as the reader in mind when communication went disrespectful and I sensed mistrust and suspicion. It is a book found in the business section of the library but I ended up reading it and finding it very valuable for my own private life, reflecting on my previous jobs and even romantic relationships.The author Ken Blanchard believes that to build a relationship in which the partners (or friends or colleagues) trust each other, one must be Able, Believable, Connected and Dependable.He coins the term “trust busters”, ie behaviour that destroys trust and lists counter-solutions which contains many basic and well-known suggestions like “listen with empathy”, “don’t talk behind people’s back” and “admit when you were wrong”. Working though it step by step tho made me reflect on my skills in a (private or business) relationship or friendship.

A simple and practical book. The principles taught are easy to apply and impactful. This isn't new age fluff, but truths that are fairly intuitive and presented in a logical and organized manner.

Every teenager should read this book.Key messages: Different people trust others in different ways. Trust can make a huge difference in career and family relationships.

Simple and easy to understand, great framework to apply!

Great short read to understand how trust works.

Interesting book. Really makes you think about what kinds of things constitute trust, and suggests a reasonable framework for evaluating trust problems in relationships. It takes a parable-like approach which is effective but feels a little bit condescending. Very helpful self-evaluation materials in the book, which helped me identify areas where I can improve myself.

Trust Works is a really good read for anyone looking to enhance personal and professional relationships by removing blindspots that you may not be consciously aware of in regards to building or tearing down relationships related to how others judge your trustability.

Lots of great tips on trust building for all areas of our lives including personal and work related trust issues. Gives great straightforward examples of just how to do that and to look at how our own behavior may be contributing to the problem. Short book and definitely worth your while to read.

Only read this book if you are truly willing to be 100% responsible for the quaility of your life.If you think it takes two to tango,or some other theory,you'll get no value here.......#TIMEWELLSPENT
