“"When I received this book and was asked to read it and offer my comments, my first impulse was, 'I don't have the time.' However, as I read the foreword, then the first few chapters, I could not put it down. It is exactly what business leaders need today. This book gets to the core roots of ethical behavior and integrity and how 'trusted' leaders and organizations do things better, faster, and at lower cost. Everyone should make the time to read this book." -- Nolan D. Archibald, Chairman and CEO, The Black & Decker Corporation”

"This much-needed [audio]book provides many practical examples of how greater trust produces better results, at less cost ... at work and in life. It's invaluable." -- Spencer Johnson, M.D., author of Who Moved My Cheese?
