Being a Kind Leader
Developing Trust

According to a global Gallup survey, trust is the number one thing employees want from leaders.

Meaningful relationships, relationships with risks, interdependent relationships, and relationships between leaders and followers all require trust. With Dr. Robin Denise Johnson’s guidance you will learn about trust in a new way – you can choose who to trust, how much to trust them, the kind of trust, even to re-trust if someone betrays your trust (i.e. to forgive them).

Dr. Robin’s course operationalizes trust in ways that give you a lot more control over how it manifests in your relationships.

This program is all about trust in our multi-dimensional / multi-cultural environment. Trust is the propensity to relate to others in ways that gain their confidence. It is a concept that involves at least two people – an interpersonal construct, not just a singular personality trait. Trust is important in multi-cultural environments because of many historical issues.Ā
