S1E10: The Three Development Layers of Successful Organizations

This is the last episode of season 1 of The Trust Show. In this episode, I discuss the three layers of successful organizations, and how you can improve them. Organizations typically put emphasis on two of them: personal/professional development, and organizational development. With personal development we improve the individuals, individually. With organizational development, we typically use tools to grow the organization, such as strategic planning, idea generation, and operational excellence. However, organizations typically don’t emphasize the third component enough: building trust. Having highly developed and professional individuals is not enough for the organizational development to be successful. First, you must build trust. Trust is what turns a group of creative, productive, and effective individuals into a creative, productive, and effective team. In this episode you will learn why, and how.
