Compounding Trust
Resources

The working tools from the book

The questions to ask, the order to ask them in, and how to read what comes back. The practical half of the book, free to use with your own team.

1. Diagnose

Find out where trust is weakening and which driver is producing the signal.

The Five Diagnostic Conversations guide

Five structured conversations, one per driver, the questions to ask, and what a useful answer sounds like as distinct from a polite one.

The Thirty-Day Trust Diagnostic worksheet

The four-week sequence used in the Trust Diagnostic engagement: what to observe, in what order, and what each pattern indicates.

2. Decide

Rank the drivers, apply the sequencing logic, and work from diagnosis to visible action.

The First Trust Review worksheet

What to do after the diagnostic: rank the drivers, apply the priority matrix, then the seven steps from diagnosis to a visible action within thirty days.

The Framework Overview

The Compounding Trust Model, the Trust Flywheel, the five drivers, the Trust Multiplier, Trust Lag and the Trust Gap on a few pages, with the measurement principles and the sequence for intervention.

3. Act

One reference guide per driver, for use during the intervention period.

The Driver Reference Guides

Five guides, one each for competence, fairness, reciprocity, identity and transparency: the diagnostic questions, the signals, what to look for, what to do and what to avoid.

One at a time: Competence · Fairness · Reciprocity · Identity · Transparency

4. Reflect

The questions from the book, for working through the model against your own organization.

The Reflection Questions workbook

The questions from the end of each chapter, collected in one document, for working through the model against your own organization.
