Just started reading in a book: The Trusted Advisor. It’s not a new book, but was on my wishlist to read for quite some time.

It’s good to be focussed on your projects and current activities. But, at times, it is also helps to “zoom out” if you will and reflect on your role in the broader context within those projects, the concerning employees and organizations. And, even further broadly scoped, what the main “ingredients” are that make new ways of working really possible. Trust is, in my opinion, one of the most important aspects in this.

I try my utmost best to gain and build trust and create strong relationships with employees (or in that sense, they become my colleagues) of the organization(s) within my projects. I’ve just started reading, so no review yet. But the beginning looks (or: reads) very promising. I hope I get inspired by it and learn a lot.
