Why does trust matter in leadership? Recent studies confirm that building and maintaining working relationships in a high-trust organization benefits all parties –– employees, leadership, and the business. According to Paul J. Zak, author of Trust Factor: The Science of Creating High-Performance Companies, people employed by high-trust companies report the following:

A 60% increase in career satisfaction

A 50% increase in productivity

A 66% increase in team unity

When trust is questionable or missing, however, these all suffer. Job performance slows down, employee engagement is low, and turnover is high.

Therefore, trust in leadership is crucial to a healthy workplace and sustainable shared success.
