"Trust is the key leadership competency for the new global economy." -- Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust, page 2.

Inspired by book The Speed of Trust, by Stephen M. R. Covey, we're talking about trust. An absence of trust can cripple an organization, and the Christian church has certainly experienced eroding trust. Financial and sexual scandals have plagued Christianity in recent years. Spiritual manipulation and clergy abuses have left many skeptical, distrustful, or outright hostile to the Christian faith. We can change that! 

In this episode, we look at the need for both character and competence. Good intentions alone are not enough; we also need skills. When we realize that our leadership skills are insufficient for the environment in which we find ourselves, we must find ways to grow our leadership skills. When we realize that trust is not where we need it to be, it is incumbent upon us to learn how to improve it. I am not an expert on building (or rebuilding) trust; I am on this journey and learning as well.
