Vertrauen führt

What is the foundation of leadership? What makes executives and the companies they manage truly successful? According to bestselling author Reinhard K. Sprenger the answer is simple: trust. For managers, though, the stakes are fairly high. If they base their leadership on the principle of trust, then they must also delegate power and be willing to relinquish some degree of control. But only by using trust as a management tool can they foster decisive advantages like cost minimization, speed and innovation, and not forfeit their competitive edge in the future. Reinhard K. Sprenger, PhD, is one of Germany's leading management experts.
