Leading in Turbulent Times; Why a Culture of Trust is More Important Now Than Ever
If the last few months have taught us anything, it has taught us the power, impact and importance of strong leadership. As HR leaders, you are the gatekeepers of culture, and a culture of high trust is more important now than ever before. So often we've been told that you can't trust people, business, government, media, and others. Is this the world we want to live in? Leaders want to rely on people to do their jobs, represent our organizations, and leave a legacy for those who follow. How do we get there? It's time to look at trust in a different way. Creating a culture of high trust is not an accident, and doesn't happen overnight; it takes intentionality, self-discipline and leaders willing to gain and share wisdom. This session will present an effective model for achieving a high-trust culture and getting results; the top seven reasons for the trust gap; 10 practical solutions for building high-trust relationships; and a simple model for evaluating trust that participants can use to measure trust in their organizations.
Learning Objectives:
- Discuss the top “trust lies” affecting you and your organization.
- Understand a simple three-part model for measuring, monitoring and managing trust.
- Learn why the trust gap exists and what you can personally do about it.
- Identify the organizational keys to a successful high-trust culture.

Co-ops Concern for Community
An integral part of being part of the co-op – and Interact – family is giving back to our local communities. We virtually served our broader community through a partnership with Feed the Children, an organization with locations in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, that provides food and resources to individuals and families. With the crisis brought by the spread of COVID-19, providing help to those in need is more important than ever.
Our co-op community stepped up and exceeded our donation goal by raising $14,385! NRECA and our business partner, UnitedHealthcare, each donated $10,000. That means our co-op community donated a total of $34,385 in support of Feed the Children, and we’re so thankful for the tremendous support.
