Randy Conley, Director of Client Services and Trust Practice Leader at The Ken Blanchard Companies, is deeply interested in making employees more engaged and interested in their work.
In his article The One Indispensable Ingredient for Employee Engagement published by http://switchandshift.com, Conley observes that there is an epidemic of workers who are uninterested and disengaged from the job they do.
There are many excellent strategies that deals with this challenge, but according to him only one strategy can be good: trust!
The TrustWorks! ABCD Model® provides that framework and illustrates the four elements of trust that leaders need to focus on building high-trust relationships:
- Able – Demonstrate Competence
- Believable – Act with integrity
- Connected – Care about others
- Dependable – Maintain Reliability

Another Great article by Randy Conley.
I like how the TrustWorks! ABCD Model® adapts and moulds well to both interpersonal and organizational levels, making it an easy equation to remember for all occasions.
Randy nailed the essential building blocks, not only of Trust in Leadership but also in life in general. I think his model can easily be applied to maintaining a happy family and life-long friendships, too.
