Servant Leadership and Growing a Community of Trust

There is a profound difference between those who think of a business as a money machine and those who think of it as an inclusive community with a shared purpose, the by-product of which is to collectively create profit. The first definition dehumanizes people. The second acknowledges the significance of creating a shared trust, which nurtures an enduring community. In this module, we will learn some fun and effective ways to begin to develop prolonged trust within our communities.
