Today's senior executives operate in an environment where trust has never been more critical, or more fragile. According to the latest Edelman Trust Barometer, trust in business leaders is at an all-time low, with people's fear that business leaders are dishonest increasing by 12% in the last year. So, as a leader, how can you cultivate trust within your team and organization? In this episode of Leadership Lounge, we talk to three of our trusted advisors—Henryk Krajewski, Emmy Melville, and Ilana Abramowicz—who share their perspectives on: How trust is evolving in today's fast-paced business environment The specific behaviors that distinguish highly trusted executives Practical strategies for building and rebuilding trust within teams How to accurately assess trust levels rather than relying on gut feeling “Don't take somebody else's credit. If you make a mistake, you own it. You don't bury somebody else.”Ilana Abramowicz, Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds Associates Four things you'll learn from this episode:Trust is built on consistency. You need to demonstrate that you can follow through on your promises and commitments, no matter how small. Trust isn't something that's nice-to-have in an organization. It needs to be intentionally built at a foundational level. Transparent communication is vital for trust—sharing relevant information openly, explaining decisions clearly, and being forthright about challenges creates a culture where trust can flourish. Trusted leaders give credit, own mistakes (even if minimal), and maintain confidentiality. In this episode, we will cover: The four fundamental components that make up trust in the leadership context Why trust should be a foundational priority rather than an afterthought Why trust is critical for accelerating decision-making and enabling productive conflict The ‘1% rule' for initiating trust repair when relationships have fractured The connection between trust and concrete business outcomes How differing trust languages can create unintended barriers within teams Why timing is critical in addressing trust breaches before they become permanent A closer look at the research from this episode: Edelman Trust Barometer How CEOs Can Build and Maintain a High-Performing C-suite | Russell Reynolds Associates The New CEO | Russell Reynolds Associates

In this special episode, I reflect on my journey alongside an extraordinary leader and mentor, Veronica Urzua-Alvero, Vice President of Human Resources at Church Brothers Farms, who has been instrumental in shaping not only UnitedAg's organization but also my own approach to leadership. Veronica's roots in agriculture, inspired by her family, set her on a path where she found her true calling in operations and community-building within the ag industry. Her resilience and determination allowed her to rise above challenges and stay focused on her own growth without letting external factors derail her journey.Veronica's strategic thinking and unique insights have shaped UnitedAg's distinct approach, one that doesn't simply follow the industry but stays true to who we are. Through her guidance, I've learned how important it is to view challenges with a long-term perspective, making big-picture decisions that serve the greater good, even if they're tough in the moment.During our conversation, Veronica also shares her shift from a focus on individual achievement to empowering her team, fostering a growth-oriented and purpose-driven environment. We both emphasize the importance of empathy and coaching in leadership, striving to build understanding and resilience within our teams.  We also reflect on the impact of Veronica's leadership, especially in her role at UnitedAg such as serving as the first female chairperson in 2013 and guiding us through significant events like the Affordable Care Act (ACA) and COVID-19. Her big-picture vision and risk management skills were essential to building a strong foundation for UnitedAg, setting structures and making decisions that continue to support our organization today. I am deeply grateful for her friendship and leadership. She has not only shaped UnitedAg but has influenced how I lead and live my life, encouraging me to think beyond the immediate and truly value the people and purpose behind our work.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: New Executive Team & Board - PIBBSS, published by Nora Ammann on July 1, 2024 on LessWrong. TLDR: PIBBSS is changing its core team. Nora is stepping down as director due to joining ARIA, and Lucas Teixeira and Dusan Nesic are taking over her leadership role. Nora joins the board, alongside Tan Zhi Xuan, Alexander Gietelink Oldenziel, Ben Goldhaber and Gabriel Weil. I (Nora) have recently accepted an offer to join ARIA's Safeguarded AI Programme as Technical Specialist under davidad. As such, I am stepping back as Director at PIBBSS, after co-founding and leading PIBBSS since 2021. It wasn't an easy choice to make! I deeply care about and believe in the mission of and the people at PIBBSS. Before davidad encouraged me to apply for the role, I hadn't considered leaving PIBBSS. I believe PIBBSS is playing an important role in terms of fostering theoretically ambitious and empirically grounded AI safety research. I am very excited about the directions the team and I have been forging, and extremely impressed by the quality of talent we've recently been able to attract. I strongly believe that PIBBSS is in the position to make important and neglected contributions in both research and field-building for AI safety. The team and I have been reflecting on and preparing for this transition for a while. Thanks to that, I am confident that Lucas & Dušan will do a great job at shepherding PIBBSS through this transition, and beyond! We have done our homework, and I feel grateful about being able to put so much my trust into this team. As such, Lucas & Dušan will collectively form the new Executive Team. Dušan has been leading PIBBSS' operations for the last ~2 years and has developed a deep familiarity with everything involved in making the organization run smoothly. Lucas, who joined us a bit over 8 months ago, has been acting as research manager and collaborator for our research affiliates. Going forward, Dušan continues to be in charge of all operational matters, and Lucas will be leading the research activities. Together, we have made significant progress in clarifying and moving towards our updated research & field building vision over the last number of months. In order to further support this transition, and strengthen PIBBSS in pursuing its ambitious plans, we have also set up a board. We're pleased to have the following people join the board (in addition to myself): Tan Zhi Xuan Alexander Gietelink Oldenziel Ben Goldhaber Gabriel Weil I am immensely grateful to my team, our affiliates, our current and past fellows, and all the many wonderful collaborators and 'friends of PIBBSS' over the years! And I am excited to be able to continue supporting PIBBSS from my new position on the board. Thanks for listening.

Devon MacDonald is the President of Cairns Oneil, a full-service media agency specializing in strategy, insights, media planning, media buying, and analytics. As a seasoned leader, strategist, and marketer, he is passionate about helping clients achieve their business goals and reach their audiences. Devon has a background in technology, creativity, and media, which gives him a multi-faceted and builder's mindset to problem-solving. Before Cairns Oneil, he was the CEO of Mindshare Canada, one of the largest global media networks, where he led the Canadian operations and built a culture of trust, provocation, and inclusivity. In this episode… As an entrepreneur, managing a business at the top level alone can be an arduous task. In such a scenario, bringing in experienced executives, such as a president, can significantly enhance the operations of the company. However, hiring an executive team as a founder is easier said than done. Most founders are reluctant to relinquish control of their companies, fearing that others may not possess the same understanding and expertise needed to run the business successfully. Fortunately, this was not the case for Devon MacDonald, the hired President of Cairns Oneil. He acknowledges that the founders' decision to empower him, relinquish control, and align shared visions and plans, among other factors, facilitated a seamless transition, thus making his journey as the president much smoother. On this episode of the Inspired Insider Podcast, Dr. Jeremy Weisz sits down with Devon MacDonald, President of Cairns Oneil, to discuss how founders can successfully hire and retain executive teams. Devon shares his experience of being hired as the president of an established company, advice for founders wanting to hire a president, tips for empowering your executive team, and the value of having shared visions and plans. He also shares how Cairns Oneil leverages AI to grow the company and build a greater culture.
