Organizational Trust this Week is a new feature beginning with the “Good”, moving through the “Debatable” and occasionally ending with the “Ugly.” Each story contains a trust component and at least one lesson for organizations seeking to make trust a business imperative. This week’s news moves our focus away from business and in to trust in communities, government, the media and medicine.
THE GOOD
Building trust is not all that complicated regardless of whether the relationship is personal or professional. It all boils down to something that looks like character, competence and consistency with a bit of compassion on top.
This cop knows his trust “stuff” and should share it with our President. It would save the taxpayers a bundle!
Same goes for this civil rights attorney
By the way, did you know we released a new book this week in our award-winning TRUST Inc. book series?

THE DEBATABLE
What is the media’s responsibility in building and busting trust (not only in itself, but its stakeholders?) After all, if the media is not reporting the facts, why not just watch reality TV and read comic books?
Can you trust those virtual doctor visits? This is new and exciting territory. Maybe someone should also invent virtual health insurance. I’ll bet the premiums would be a heck of a lot lower!
THE UGLY
Is high CEO pay an impediment to building trust?
What’s happened to trust in government since President Eisenhower? I love graphs. This one really does its job!
