In his research, 11-time author and top-20 global organizational culture thought leader Dr. Yoram Solomon found that the ability to hold a constructive disagreement within a team was a key component of a company's creativity and productivity culture. That ability depends on three things: the willingness of each member of the team to be vulnerable, to provide direct feedback, and to be receptive to feedback. The existence of any of those three heavily depends on the team trust level. When trust was high, the willingness to be vulnerable was 240% higher, the willingness to provide direct feedback was 106% higher, and receptivity to feedback was 76% higher. He also found that team members valued their peers' trustworthiness the most, as much as the next four qualities combined. In this third book in the series Can I TRUST You? Solomon explains how trust gets built between team members and offers 67+1 habits that will make you a trustworthy member.

The author of this book is not an expert on nutrition or physical training, but he is a researcher of motivation.
