The Trust & Courage Set
The Trust Deficit
How Leaders Build, Spend, and Rebuild the Only Currency That Retains Talent
"Just be authentic" is the least actionable advice in leadership development. This book replaces it with a system: the Trust Ledger™, four distinct accounts — Competence, Consistency, Candor, and Care — that every leader builds and depletes independently, often without noticing the imbalance until a resignation makes it explicit. It shows leaders exactly which account is running low, names the silent "overdraft" that stress produces across all four at once, and gives a specific practice for rebuilding trust after a real withdrawal.
