Which is the most overlooked, misunderstood, underutilised asset to enable performance and impact? Trust.
It is often used as a noun. More as lip service. Treated as just a 5-letter word. Going under the radar, under recognised, sub optimally leveraged.
How about moving the needle from trust as a noun to trust as a verb? Recognising the power, the aura and the energy that it can bring into organisations- both intra and inter. The empowerment, respect and recognition that it can accord to individuals. Become the true blue asset, ally and ammunition for individuals and organisations that are embarking on a journey towards humanocracy. Initiate a movement that is befitting to the concept and unearth its potential to make things better across the entire value chain.
The first of its kind Trust lab conceptualised by ISD Global and conducted in partnership with IIM Bangalore is an endeavor to unearth the immense potential that it can unleash. A day long workshop involving thought and business leaders for an audience seeking to make significant impact and change within their own zeitgeist.
Building an organisation that has trust at its edifice warrants a ground up approach with a much broader perspective than conventionally encouraged or practiced.
" In an era governed by quarterly numbers and diktats of shareholders, I believe trust can not only be a catalyst for positive, long lasting change, but also align with shareholder compulsions while remaining sensitive to compassionate capitalism. If I dare, I would find a way to get trust well and truly entrenched in the balance sheet and find a way to measure the return on investment it delivers ", avered Sourav Mukherjee, Dean, Alumni Relations & Development at IIM Bangalore.
Command or control or trust and inspire? It is a no-brainer. Organisations practicing a model (or willing to) that champions the trust and inspire approach, will reap significant benefits of what unfolds.
" The refrain so far has been ' start with why '! Why not tweak that a bit and ' start with trust ' and see the magic unfold. When you see leadership as stewardship, the strength of your vision, structure, expectations and accountability are enthusiastically reciprocated by those whom you lead. Resulting in an outcome that is far greater than what anyone side individually could have. The objective is to propel trust, right up front & centre intra and inter organisations", echoed Suresh Dinakaran, Chief Storyteller, ISD Global.
It will take place on the 6th of July, 2024 at IIM Bangalore.
