Trust Rules offers easy and actionable guidelines for every manager to act on. A big plus is its length: there’s not a single sentence too much.

In Lee’s own words, ‘real success begins with knowing who you really are.’” —Gary Keegan, London Business School guest lecturer, high-performance expert and leadership consultant
