Building Trust: How To Get It! How To Keep It!

by Hyler Bracey

Book Overview

This is NOT a book about the importance of trust. Building Trust is about HOW TO BUILD TRUST and maintain it. Very little of the materials on trust are practical and helpful. Of the thousands of pieces of writing on the topic of trust, almost none of them say: "Here's a step-by-step method for building trust - inter-personally and organizationally."Building Trust will tell you: Practical steps to improve trust. What you may be doing that's not helpful...

Customer Reviews

One of the five most influential books I have read.

Few books have affected me as much as Hyler Bracey's book on trust. I thought I trusted, but Hyler helped me to see that I need to take my trust in relationships to the next level. The timeless principles and practical suggestions in the book helped me to do it; God bless him for it. As a management coach, this is required reading for my clients. If you want to help others, help yourself first by reading this book.

The Best Roadmap I Have Seen

Trust is a precious commodity. Like reputation, it is easily broken and never well mended. This book is is the best roadmap I have seen on how to create, enhance and, should it become necessary, regain trust. It is short, lively and spiced with stories from Hyler Bracey's colorful past. My personal favorite is the one about his employees giving him the nickname "Highly Abrasive". I can report that I have actually incorporated some of the strategies into my repertoire with positive results. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to improve the quality of his or her relationships.

Trust ME -- Read this Book!

That's what's written on the back cover of this book with a list of prestigious business people recommending it. I had just finished reading, and appreciating, Dr. Bracey's other management book, and found this one even better. Perhaps it is because trust is such a predominant issue in our lives today. While the book provides a program with specific steps for building and keeping trust in business, sidebar stories help show these steps can also be used in our personal lives. The book is a quick read, and you will certainly feel a lot smarter when you have finished it. Dr. Bracey ought to send copies of this book to the clergy, politicians and chairmen of some of the corporations that are in crisis today as a result of misusing trust!

TRUST Building has never been so clear!

TRUST building has never been made so clear. This book just doesn't talk the talk it walks the walk. Several books identify trust issues but never help you resolve trust issues, this book makes it crystal clear. It is very easy to read and understand what you need to build trust and keep it in your life in all aspects from personal to business. The stories that are told put the final touch on the process by giving real life examples of ways that the formula is used. If anyone wants to learn the best ways to build and keep trust, this is the bible on trust. The only way to sum it up is everyone MUST! read this book. If everyone practiced these principles the world would be a better place to live. I can only imagine what that would be like. Hyler is truely the TRUST EXPERT!!

Finally, a REAL "How To" book on Trust

I have looked at lots of books on building trust. This is the first practical book that gives concrete steps for building trust. I found it applicable to both my business and personal life. I think it is a "Must Read". Now if we could just get these principals instilled in our government leaders, priests, accountants,CEOs,........and the list goes on and on!
