The passion of these authors, and their commitment to meaningful research is
abundant in this compelling read. They have studied what separates digitally
mature companies – from the many companies that lag behind – and conclude that
the ability of their leaders to personally develop and enable trusting relationships
is, indeed, the difference-maker. Using the Speed of Trust framework as a guide,
the authors conducted direct interviews with digital leaders, and show how their
integrity, intent, capabilities, and results significantly impact performance across a
broad range of transformation goals. The insights and lessons learned from these
interviews will be invaluable to digital leaders. The pace of change in the digital
world makes it easy to get caught up in the moving target of technology details—
e.g. cloud computing, artificial intelligence, etc.—and lose sight of the ever more
important, human-centric dimension of building trust.”
