As the author, I come to this topic not just as a professional, but as someone who has experienced the profound impact of trust in my own life and career. My journey began with a deep appreciation for ethical principles, instilled by my upbringing and reinforced through years of navigating the complexities of the business world. As a negotiator, sales leader, and healthcare advocate for ethical practices, I’ve learned that trust is not merely a component of success; it is the foundation upon which all success is built.

Trust as Currency by Thomas Koehl is a must-read for professionals seeking to leverage trust as a key business asset. This book offers real-world case studies, actionable strategies, and insights on how trust drives success, loyalty, and growth.

The book explores the role of trust in negotiations, leadership, and marketing, highlighting strategies for building and sustaining trust through transparency and accountability. It delves into the evolving nature of trust in the digital age, including its impact on cybersecurity and virtual teams. Koehl also emphasizes how trusted leaders foster collaboration and resilience, making trust a cornerstone of long-term business success.

Well-researched and filled with practical strategies, the book is engaging and relevant to modern business challenges. Some sections, however, may be more tailored to business leaders rather than a general audience.

This book was a great read! I have been working in some capacity or another for 25 years…almost 20 of that being in my chosen career field. Trusting your coworkers and superiors, as well as being trusted to be an expert in your field, is one of the most important factors in building morale. Integrity is extremely important and something I try to pass down to my own kids. This is a great read for anyone hoping to improve climate and capitalize on the gains of creating a trusting work environment.

Jen Morgan

The author’s approach to efficacy and honest business practices was refreshing and applicable both as a professional and as an individual trying to navigate interactions daily. From establishing trust all the way through rebuilding the loss of it, I found useful tools and guidance in each chapter. I recommend this as an easy professional development read for you and your fellow employees.
