""John hits the mark with this book: the world is intuitively
reaching out for leadership that behaves with integrity and
appropriate humility, whilst exhibiting the necessary foresight and
confidence to help their organisations and communities be
successful with a wider responsible vision. John's practical and
inspired approach offers a structured framework to help anyone
succeed in this way - backed up by enough studies and evidence to
show this approach is real. I can see this will reflect the
defining behavioural style for leadership very quickly.""
*Martyn Proctor, Executive Director, Ernst & Young*
""This is a well-researched and thought-provoking book on the
concept of trustworthiness and its importance to modern
organisations in a world of ever-increasing transparency. Most
importantly, it asks searching questions of leaders and sets out a
challenging, yet practical series of actions that can, if done
together and with consistency, build genuine trust across and
beyond an organisation. I would thoroughly recommend to leaders in
all sectors - it's time to take the red pill.""
*Heath Monk, CEO, Future Leaders Trust*
""This inspiring book sets out a leader's individual responsibility
for driving the actions that create organisational trust. It is
highly readable and addresses both the theory and the practice of
the trust-building challenge. The measures John recommends are
highly practical and well within the capability of all business
leaders who are determined to leave a positive legacy.""
*Jane Frost CBE, CEO, Market Research Society*
"The Trusted Executive is an invaluable forward thinking handbook
for every existing or aspiring leader. John clearly defines and
develops key attributes for leaders the world deserves. The reader
is coached through theoretical and practical exercises and examples
which demonstrate both significant personal experience and
considerable depth of research."
*Gina Lodge, CEO, The Academy of Executive Coaching*
""What this bold and thought-provoking book shows is that there is
an urgent need to re-build trust through developing leaders that
don't just 'talk the talk', but who also 'walk the talk""
*Paul Kehoe, CEO, Birmingham Airport*
"The red pill moment represents the choice between living the
status quo or embracing a new reality. Well written, thought
provoking and practical - here's to the nice guys!"
*Rob Edwards, Managing Director, FARM Digital*
"I've read many books on organizational trust and John's is one of
the best - a welcome addition and a must-read."
*Barbara Brooks Kimmel, CEO and Co-founder, Trust Across America*
