The success of school improvement initiatives depends not only on policy but on the level of trust in the school community. Leading With Trust is designed for use by teams, but includes preliminary personal exercises for leaders to use before they engage with staff. Exercises throughout the book help identify the causes of distrust and show how school communities may begin discussing their ¿undicussables,¿ that is, issues staff members have not yet felt comfortable addressing or resolving. The book contains a progressive series of strategies, beginning with a staff survey, designed to move the community toward a more trusting environment. Conceived as a manual or ¿field guide,¿ Leading With Trust covers the spectrum from deep distrust to mature or high levels of trust, which the books portrays in two corporate cultures that have achieved it¿Southwest Airlines and Saturn Automobiles. The book is filled with inspirational quotes, tables, graphs, activities, and resources, many of which will be available online.
