In this “Payroll Requires Trust. Examining the Speed of Trust” episode with Stephen M. R. Covey on The Payroll Podcast, questions asked include:

Developing trust is going to be the key subject for today’s podcast and I think it is especially relevant for those working in senior leadership related positions right now as organisations strive to maintain engagement, relevancy and stay ahead of the digital curve. So with this in mind, Stephen, I would love to know this – is trust a learnable skill?
You say in your book that “Trust is a hard-edged, economic driver” – what do you mean by this?
What initiatives do you see trust impacting Trust the most?
So, in your view, Is trust earned or is trust given?
You say in your book that “Trust is the new currency of our interdependent, collaborative world” – with this in mind, is it possible then to restore trust when it has been lost?
You have a chapter in the book which talks about how “Families are organisations too” – I love this concept. Can you bring this concept to life for our listeners?
Right now as many businesses evolve to working from home models of management, which requires trust for them to work optimally, what are the four questions you like to ask organisations that you state in your book, often result in “A-Ha” moments as a result!
Where is leadership going?
What’s the next “big thing?” in the world of Trust and Leadership?
