"Trust is a choice. It's not the easy path, but it's the one that matters. Lisa and Rick share a generous and powerful manifesto that can help us get there."

-Seth Godin, founder, altMBA

Work isn't transactional; it's relational. And relationships all come down to trust.

As we find ourselves at the precipice of global change looking to the future, never before has trust been so important in moving our world forward and creating the conditions for meaningful and sustainable change to happen.

When trust is strong, anything is possible. However, ignore building trust and, when you need it most, you'll have the least amount of it.

Trust is not a switch you can turn on at a moment's notice, but it is an asset you can invest in over time and you can never have too much of it. While it takes effort and practice, everyone can develop the practical leadership skills, habits, and mindset needed to earn, strengthen, extend, and even restore trust.

Drawing from their experience and best practices working with thousands of leaders across six continents as organizational design consultants, leadership coaches, and facilitators, Rick Kitagawa and Lisa Lambert have reimagined what a leadership book can be with The Future Is Trust: Embracing the Era of Trust-Centered Leadership. The co-authors share their practical, inclusive, and actionable framework to help you build trust with yourself, with others, and at scale so that you can create and co-create the conditions for enduring change, bend culture, and shape the future of organizations and communities.

The Future Is Trust is not just an approachable book you'll be keen to get through so you can live your learnings: it's a book you'll want to let get through to you so you can become the Trust-Centered leader we need to architect a brighter tomorrow.

By the end of The Future Is Trust, you will have a rich understanding of why trust is the defining issue of our time, the many ways trust shapes our personal and professional lives, and a practical and personalizable approach you can leverage to build-and even restore-the most valuable leadership asset.
