Invest in Transformation: Quit Relying on Trust

by Tod Bolsinger, Marty Linsky (foreword), Mark Demel (illustrator)

Trust is not transformation. Instead, we must invest trust for transformation.

Groups that have become skeptical need leadership to refuel a sense of community and continuity if change is going to happen. But trust can be easily hoarded or squandered. In this fully illustrated volume in the Practicing Change Series, Tod Bolsinger outlines steps to envision trust for the sake of growth.
