This week, I have heard from three seasoned leaders about their trust journey in leadership. Each of these leaders have experienced bad leadership. They’ve dealt with mistrust, ineffective leadership, insecurities in power, mismanagement of finances and much more. And when organizations lead out of mistrust and hurt, human brokenness tends to rise. And trust deteriorates.
