How do we know when we have trust and most important, how do we repair it when trust is lost. Distrust is extremely expensive to the success of our organizations and our individual well being. There is a lot we can do to repair trust and we can actually increase trust much faster than we think.

Public service: a calling or a craving? Those of us dedicated to public service may discover there is a thin line between our calling to serve and our craving to serve. We may believe we are "suppose" to serve the public good, only to discover later that we occasionally doubt our decision and eventually loose our commitment to public service. When we can renew our call to service, we become aware of our passions, and our actions unfold with ease while dramatically increasing our effectiveness as a public leader.
