In this “The Speed of Trust & HR Leadership” episode with Stephen M. R. Covey on The HR L&D Podcast, questions asked include:

1. Developing trust is going to be the key subject for today’s podcast and I think it is especially relevant for those working in senior leadership or HR-related positions right now as organisations strive to maintain engagement, relevancy and stay ahead of the digital curve. So is trust a learnable skill?
2. You say in your book that “Trust is a hard-edged, economic driver” – what do you mean by this?
3. What HR initiatives do you see trust impacting the most?
4. Is trust earned or is trust given?
5. You say in your book that “Trust is the new currency of our interdependent, collaborative world” – is it possible then to restore trust when it has been lost?
6. You have a chapter in the book which talks about how “Families are organisations too” – I love this concept. We spend more time at work than with our own families, so can you bring this concept to life for our listeners in relation to Trust?
7. Right now as many businesses evolve to working from home models of management, which requires trust for them to work optimally, what are the four questions you like to ask organisations that you state in your book, often result in “A-Ha” moments as a result!
8. Where is leadership going?
9. What’s the next “big thing?” in the world of HR and Learning & Development?
