Best-Selling UK Author Calls for the Return of Trust in Business

LONDON - April 15, 2023 - PRLog -- A recent survey of the UK employees' trust in their business leaders shows a significant drop compared to a generation ago.

Best-selling business author Geoff Hudson-Searle conducted a survey, carried out by DataPad, establishing just how few of us trust our bosses – with 30% of respondents answering negatively to a question whether they trusted and respected their CEO and another 39% replying "a little".

Trust is always paramount, but given current global and national events, there has never been a greater need for trust in all spheres of our lives, even more so at the workplace and in business.

The survey asked employees the same question about 'trust and respect' in relation to their Executive Leadership, Heads of Department and immediate line managers. The closer the manager's role was to the respondent, the more likely the employee was to answer positively. Immediate managers were trusted "a lot" by 48%, followed by "a little" (36%), with 16% "not trusted at all".

Geoff Hudson-Searle's latest book, The Trust Paradigm, written in co-authorship with the American business author Mark Herbert, draws on the hard-won truths and deep personal lessons from life and business of the two authors in their efforts to distil those lessons into principles, which can transform a business and help leaders to restore trust. The book demonstrates the relationship between human communications, strategy and business development, and provides a holistic overview of the leading methods and techniques.

"Moral and ethical leadership is the key to successful business, yet it's clear from the news that the leaders of some of our most influential corporations are making morally questionable decisions. These decisions will lose the trust of customers and employees. Trust is the foundation of high functioning relationships and can only be achieved by a meaningful dialogue, which is not happening. Instead, we're increasingly replacing it with impersonal electronic communications," comments Geoff.

The Trust Paradigm by Geoff Hudson-Searle and Mark Herbert is available to order via Waterstones, WHSmith and Amazon.
