I recently participated in a class led by Karen & Aneil and was impressed by their insights, experience, and valuable guidance in exploring strengths-based leadership. So I dove into Trust is Everything with excitement, and the small investment of time to race through the book has already paid dividends. Much like I observed in their class, Karen & Aneil have a true gift for communicating the complex art of building trust in a clear, concise, and compelling way.

As a professional about to embark on a new stage of leadership in my career, I wanted to identify a simple framework to help me focus on first principles and build trust with my team. Trust is Everything is precisely that - is simple “how-to” guide that clearly outlines the principal elements of trust and offers clear & simple tools & advice on how to implement each step. Practically jargon-free, the book stands out from other books on leadership by its direct, practical, and personal approach. And it is by no means simply a “business book,” but rather a practical toolset for building trusting relationships in every walk of life.

Many thanks, Aneil & Karen!

This business success handbook is chock full of reasonable and common sense advice for the prospective trusted leader. It reads perhaps too easily and is logically ordered. I am a bit uncomfortable that so many conclusions are drawn from a handful of organizational examples. But even with that in mind, following the author's advice would likely improve any organization.
