Steve Whiting. There's a certain formula to these business-guru books: checklist of improved ways of working "4 cores" and "13 behaviours", check , strained acronyms "TASKS", check , a pseudo-scientific formula leading to a spuriously calculated buzzphrase "trust tax", check , an overarching theme "5 waves of trust", check and usually a magic-quadrant style diagram of some sort "Smart Trust", check , many supportive personal examples from career and family definitely check! As will be apparent from that list, this book ticks all of those, and as a result seems a little over-familiar.
