Last month’s webinar addressed the current leadership crisis, namely the distrust for leaders despite the need for leadership. The recently released 2013 Edelman Trust Barometer found a 32-point gap in trust in businesses versus trust in business leaders. But what makes a leader trustworthy? Join Aneil and Karen Mishra for a webinar on becoming a trustworthy leader.

In this session based on their new book, Becoming a Trustworthy Leader, Aneil and Karen will share their research on trust, why trust is critical in organizations and teams, and how to build a culture of trust with employees, customers, and colleagues. Attend this webinar to learn how you can become a trustworthy leader in your team or organization and create significant change, such as building teams, saving jobs, or even saving lives.
