This book shows how you can achieve long-term success as a leader: through trustful collaboration with your employees and an atmosphere of mutual appreciation. The author explains how to systematically build this trust and how to better assess, develop, and lead employees to peak performance within a team. The concept of "Trust-based Leadership" presented here is based on scientific findings that the author has further developed through years of practical work for direct application. With numerous self-tests, checklists, and concrete instructions, this book serves as both a practical guide and a reference work.
