EARLY REVIEWS ARE IN:
"Author Marie-Claire Ross delivers a master class in leadership, trust-building, and communication with her latest book Trusted to Thrive: How leaders create connected and accountable teams. The three overarching steps/sections may seem intuitive, but Ross’ focus on creating a safe environment where experimentation, trust, and connection are encouraged, rather than conformity and competition, stands out as a unique focal point of her approach. Peppered with accessible and creative analogies, as well as practical steps that leaders and team members can employ for greater success, this book is easy to read, but simultaneously dives deep on critical points. Cleanly edited and compassionately penned, the book’s anecdotal nature is engaging and relatable, while the lessons and lived experience of the author provide a strong level of authority and expertise."
Jam-packed with practical guidance
Marie-Claire Ross has done a fabulous job with this book. It is jam-packed with leadership and team theory, along with practical guidance for improving your teams. It is fairly dense (in that it contains a LOT of information in a fairly short book), so it took me a while to get through. Personally, I recommend bringing your sticky notes, taking your time, and bookmarking things that might be useful for future reference. This is one of those books that you will want to reference again and again when you find yourself in a team with less-than-ideal dynamics. Full review.

Sensational book by an incredible author

“Brilliant! I don’t say this often, but this is a ‘must read.’ As Marie-Claire says, ‘Trust might be a small word, but it is a big, complicated topic.’ She unpacks that topic with in-depth insights, and provides the clarity and comprehension needed by every leader.”
