Building Trust in a Polarized World | Ron Carucci | TEDxBabsonCollege

Ron Carucci's talk is about building trust in a polarized world. He shares three findings from his 15-year longitudinal study on what makes people behave in ways that invite trust and what leads them to their dark side. His research found that to be trustworthy, we need to trust ourselves, be present with others, and be generous. By being who we are, connecting with others, and giving of ourselves, we can earn and keep others' trust. Ron is co-founder and managing partner at Navalent, working with CEOs and executives pursuing transformational change for their organizations, leaders, and industries. He has a thirty-year track record helping executives tackle challenges of strategy, organization and leadership. From start-ups to Fortune 10’s, non-profits to heads-of-state, turn-arounds to new markets and strategies, overhauling leadership and culture to re-designing for growth. He has helped organizations articulate strategies that lead to accelerated growth, and design organizations that can execute those strategies. He has worked in more than 25 countries on 4 continents. He is the author of 9 books, including the Amazon #1 Rising to Power and the recently released multi-award winning To Be Honest, Lead with the Power of Truth, Justice & Purpose. He is a popular contributor to the Harvard Business Review, where Navalent’s work on leadership was named one of 2016’s management ideas that mattered most.
