In Chapter 8 of 23 in his 2013 Capture Your Flag interview, author and public speaker Simon Sinek answers "Why is Trust a Leadership Skill That Should Be Taught?" Sinek shares that because trust is a feeling like loyalty, it is difficult to teach. Over time, however, by creating a circle of safety, Sinek shares ways committed leaders can create inclusive cultures at work that prioritize inclusion, openness, and safety. He shares an example of Goldman Sachs and how over 30 years its culture has shifted from the "Boy Scouts of Wall Street" and collaborative to something more individualist and self-centered. Simon Sinek teaches leaders and organizations how to inspire people. Sinek is the author of two books, "Leaders Eat Last: Why Some Teams Come Together and Others Don't" and "Start With Why: How Great Leaders Inspire Everyone to Take Action". He is a public speaker, an adjunct professor at Columbia University and a Brandeis University graduate.

Simon says to build trust in an organisation you must: - you cannot teach people to trust as it is a feeling (as is loyalty) - these feelings have to be earned - leaders determine the environment and the circle of safety - if individuals don't feel safe they will do things to protect themselves that could damage a company

While I found this to be valuable, the title is a misnomer. It's more about why trust is important, not about building it.

Thank you Lisa. I think I used the word "building" in the title because of Simon's reference to the trust building journey and tying that into the second have of the video elements with committed leadership. In a couple weeks we will upload another batch of Simon interviews from the Year 5 documentary interview we did with him last year. I'll revisit this title as I'm on your side in that it is critical we ensure the title matches the story. Thank you! - Erik

There is a parallel between relationships, commitment, marriage and our working environment career if you will is kind of like dating, going steady, engagement, marriage - never thought of it like that - it seems to dovetail nicely. this thread has legs let me give it some thought I am divorced and retired best health and skill set of my life and here I am with you on KZbin. Love you Simon - "capture your flag" Everyone else is about the $$$ there is something larger looming in the wings I get in trouble if I say the words. Soon the world will see - "eyes open" - the portal to ed-u-cation is neigh. discipline physical, mental --- mind, body, spirit close very close

Hi. 🙂 Please, let us pray together. Dear God who art in heaven hallow be thy name thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us and lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil for thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever in Jesus Christ's name we pray, amen.
