In any relationship, personal or business, trust plays a pivotal role. People decide whom to trust, what advice to heed, and which individual to choose for bonding big time. And all this is based on a simple metric of believability. Success too comes from understanding one basic principle: how to be more trusted.
This book offers a new view of a world beyond Facebook where personal relationships, honesty, simplicity and basic humanity are behind everything, be it a multi-million dollar merger or a record-breaking product sales.
Using case studies and individual stories, this book gives a peep into a world where these principles have been used to great advantage.
