Product Description

Two leadership experts. Eight powerful principles. One life-changing book.

In recent years the world has been rocked by catastrophic business failures. The problem isn’t so much obsolete factories, backward technology, complicated logistics, or an indifferent workforce. The problem is leaders who don’t follow the principles proven to build success.

In Trust Me: Developing a Leadership Style People Will Follow, two expert business leaders call today’s emerging leaders–including you–back to the basics. They focus on the timeless principles derived from the teaching of the greatest leader of all time. You’ll become a better leader as you rediscover the time-tested, positive principles that will work in any leadership situation–in a major corporation, a small business, a volunteer situation, or a church group…any context in which you are asked to lead.

Following the principles outlined in this book will enable you to develop trust in yourself, trust in other people, and trust within your team. The result: Healthy organizations that grow future leaders.

And it all starts with you.

Wayne Hastings and Ron Potter have written an inspirational book that provides the key principles we all need to guide us in our personal and business lives. It is a book to be kept close at hand to keep our thinking and actions on the path of a principle based life.

4.0 out of 5 stars SPIRITUAL VALUES & LEADERSHIP, May 19, 2005

By	Gerry Stern "Stern's Management Review Online" (Culver City, CA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Presents a style of leadership based on 8 values: humility; development; commitment; focus; compassion; integrity; peacemaking; and endurance. The authors explore how these spiritual values are keys to building trust with people and becoming a successful leader, as well as building a successful career. This book has its distinct point of view-no question about it. But given the abundance of bad leadership in business, politics, and other spheres, the spiritual qualities this book links with effective leadership deserve serious consideration.
