The Trust Circle

Smoothly navigate leadership challenges by building and maintaining strong relationships

Based on the idea that leaders shouldn't lead alone and that strong relationships are essential for sustainable leadership success, The Trust Circle delivers a practical framework for leadership development, especially during critical career or business transitions. Written by growth strategy and leadership expert Daniel Hallak, this book identifies the different types of relational investors readers need, shows them how to build a personal board of advisors, and sets the stage for them to develop the skills and habits necessary for creating a sustainable leadership career.

Readers will find insights on:

• The concept of "relational investors" who invest in your growth, health, and success by providing stretch, support, and strategy.
• Strategies to develop a strong development network, and the importance of intentionality and generosity in building relationships.
• Feedback mechanisms to know if you're on the wrong path, like if networking feels “gross”.
• Emotional support as the safe harbour in any storm, and advocates as the skeleton key to unlock any door.

The Trust Circle is required reading for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and anyone who wants to learn how to lead well for the long term, especially those in times of transition and those facing isolation, loneliness, or burnout.
