Radio Interview with Charles H. Green: Trust and Business
Monday night I was the guest on an hour-long radio show on PBS Station KCBX, in San Luis Obispo, California. The program is Trust in America, hosted by program director Guy Rathbun, with guest host Charles Feltman, of Insight Coaching.
This was part two of a three-part program; part 1 was trust in government; part 3 will be Trust in Media. I was the guest for the segment on Trust in Business.
The interview was one of the better I’ve been invited to. Host Feltman teed up issues like:
· the difference between trust, trusting and being trustworthy (3:00);
· trust in corporations, vs. trust in business (5:30);
· should we distrust corporations (11:30);
· how you can build a more trustworthy organization (14:30)
· the root of mistrust in business (20:00);
· what influences citizens have over businesses (32:00);
· economics of trust, trust and timeframe (38:30);
· systemic effects of shift from relationships to transactions (43:00);
· customer relationships and trust (52:30).
The show was broadcast live, and we had 3-4 callers contributing to the show.
If you like audio files; if you’d like to hear me instead of just read me; or if you want to hear a good discusison about trust–then listen to the mp3 file of this interview.
Charlie –
Great interview! I especially appreciate your comment on the importance of business decisions being made on values rather than on metrics. We’ve gone way too far in the direction of falling in love with metrics. An article I wrote on this subject was just published in the OD Practitioner, called "The ROI Trap: How We Got Into it and How We Can Escape."
