Inspiring Trust: Strategies for Effective Leadership
What are the secrets of all great leaders―the individuals who effortlessly persuade and gain the confidence of others? This book offers actionable, practical advice, explaining ten pivotal ways for leaders to foster and engender trust.
Trust in the leaders of organizations―whether large or small, for-profit or non-profit, government or private―is of critical importance. Highlighting the centrality of trust to leadership, Inspiring Strategies for Effective Leadership presents ten proven methods that will enable readers to quickly gain the trust of those they lead. Written by a management consultant who has studied a wide variety of organizations, the book presents the author's findings from observing and working with some of America's best enterprises. The author explains how effective leadership involves enrolling and enfranchising others, which only occurs as a result of trusting the leader's competence and character; and offers specific practical advice on what to do to enhance trust―as well as what not to do.
The chapters outline in detail specific techniques that have proved effective for getting others "on board" with a leader's vision, mission, goals, strategies, and tactics. The text also explains the five key drivers of high performance and the five core dimensions of interpersonal effectiveness. Aimed at aspiring managers of any age, this book explains how to move potential followers from superficial compliance to genuine alignment, resulting in internalization of the executive, manager, or supervisor's vision, mission, and goals.

As my first leadership book, it's a good summary of the fundamental characteristics needed to be a good leader. I think that it's a good (and accurate) collection, many of which I had identified or was close to doing so, and I think with the next one I hope to learn more strategies (despite the title, it didn't have too many strategies, but did have some) and/or how to become more persuasive, assertive, etc. in the office.
