Author Geoff Hudson-Searle was interviewed by Diane Nowell in this article by Headspring Executive Development, a joint venture of Financial Times, discussing #leadership and #innovation in #companyculture. Geoff stated ‘‘Taking a more holistic approach means considering the impact that every change is going to have on the entire organisation, and not just specific functions or departments. Each employee will understand, and be focused on, how their work contributes to the company’s broader objectives.” #trust is one of the most vital forms of capital a #leader has today. Amid economic turbulence and global uncertainty, #people are increasingly turning to their employers and #businessleaders as a source of truth, rather than their institutions and government officials. Trust, which can be defined as a belief in #abilities, #integrity, and #character of another person, is often thought of as something that personal #relationships are built on. A high trust organization is one in which employees feel safe to take #risks, express themselves freely, and #innovate. Trust is the operating system of successful societies. Its erosion in the face of unprecedented levels of corporate power and a perceived surge of intended and unintended corporate wrongdoings gave rise to a new ecosystem of trust champions, brokers, platforms and architects. Market leaders need to tap into this ecosystem to make sure they don’t jeopardise their competitive edge by losing their public’s faith; smaller actors may enjoy greater societal trust but face the mammoth challenge of converting their trust advantage into a competitive advantage. #authorinterview #author #authorcommunity #authorsoflinkedin #csuite #executivedirectors #culturetransformation #strategytoexecution #nonexecutivedirectors #commmunications #trustbasedleadership #strategicpartners #boardofdirectors #strategytoexecution #businessstrategy #businessgrowth #people #values #leadership #businesstransformation #management #growth #change #insights #ceos #globalbusiness #intelligence #purposedrivenleadership #trustbasedleadership #leadership #designthinkingprocess #technology https://lnkd.in/edyZW5Vi
