Description: Trust, the most important issue facing the world today, lies at the foundation of every relationship. Trust is the keystone of success in work and in life. It's the new global currency. It crosses cultures and generations. Building and restoring trust is our number one challenge today. The authors contend that bridges of trust are built on accountability: the ability to be counted on. In order to inspire trust, you have to be a trustworthy person. When the going gets tough, it is accountable people who are called on to get the job done. To be all you can be, to reach your full potential, accountability has to be authentic. It has to be aligned with your values, your highest aspirations and your passion. As you will learn in this book, authenticity takes accountability to a whole new level. Authenticity transforms our innate drive to contribute into the ability to make a difference. This book will help readers understand accountability and how to inspire and achieve it in your personal and professional life -- by making accountability authentic.
