The Trustworthy Leader

Participant Workbook

Based on years of research, The Trustworthy Leader Participant Workbook is designed to provide you with a set of powerful practices that will help you to examine, enhance and strengthen your trustworthy behavior.

This Workbook offers a hands-on resource based on the Virtuous Circle Model® from Great Place to Work® Institute that is outlined in the best-selling book The Trustworthy Leader by Amy Lyman.

• Consider how past incidents have influenced you
• Evaluate your current use of key behaviors that build trust
• Understand the elements of the Virtuous Circle of a trustworthy leader
• Demonstrate the behaviors associated with each element
• Identify how the elements support you moving through uncertainty in pursuit of opportunities
• Plan actions to enhance your effectiveness at being a trustworthy leader

Your Participant Workbook contains background material, note-taking room, and a self-assessment tool for guiding you on your journey to becoming a truly trustworthy leader.
