Trust gets a lot of lip service in the business world, particularly in the current economic climate. But according to author Vanessa Hall, few of us really understand what trust in, how to build it, and how to determine if others view us and our organizations as trustworthy. And issues of trust exact high costs for us - ethically and financially. Hall delivers a three-pronged approach to building trust based on assessment of expectations, needs, and promises. With a practical model, compelling insights, real case studies, and easy-to-implement tips, Hall offers readers: knowledge of how to ensure that trust, once established, is not broken; guidance on how to become more trustworthy brands and businesses; and assessment tools for determining how trustworthy you are in each area of business. Delving into each area of business- sales, management, branding and marketing, customer services, leadership - the guidebook gives companies and leaders the tools they need to earn trust, reap the rewards, and stand apart from the competition.

What do you see above? Some of you may say “circle”, some others may describe it as the “moon”. It’s all about perspective, don’t you agree? The same is true with the world of numbers. Engineers (like the author of this book) may look at numbers with a solution mindset, while those with a formal finance education or a traditional accounting background may view numbers with a compliance mindset. Whichever way you look at numbers, there’s no shying away from them, especially if you are a business owner or a key decision-maker. For most business decisions are related to numbers. Everyone needs to know how to interpret numbers! They help decision-makers make crucial decisions that impact the bottom line of their companies. Most often than not, these numbers are in the form of data. Data is like crude oil. There is a wealth of information waiting to be filtered out. The filtered information is ‘relevant information’ that makes all the difference between success and failure. When this information is communicated through stories, it sparks off a meaningful conversation. That is what this book attempts to do. After reading this book, you will not just be able to understand numbers but you will also be able to analyse them and interpret the stories they are trying to tell you. In short, you will be able to look at the circle and see the moon!
