"We all know that creating a great place to work is critical to a company's long-term success, but how do managers actually accomplish this? Bob Lee's book provides sixteen clear, concise principles and guidance on how to apply them to build employee trust in any industry or type of organization." --Alex Edmans, professor of finance, London Business School
"Here's the book every manager should read. Bob Lee highlights sixteen rules managers should follow to build trust within their teams and organizations. In very clear and straightforward language, Lee encapsulates lessons based on research from Great Place to Work's huge database of employee surveys and best management practices and his more than fifteen years of interviewing managers." --Robert Levering, cofounder, Great Place to Work
"Bob Lee has written a book that is badly needed. A book which (at last) really helps managers at all levels to do their job well. Lee's book takes all the academic mumbo jumbo and consultant bullshit out of leadership and presents leadership as it should be--plain and simple human-to-human interaction. Trust Rules offers easy and actionable guidelines for every manager to act on. A big plus is its length: there's not a single sentence too much. It's easy and fun to read, so it's also ideal for the managers who don't usually read books. Bringing the concept of trust into the heart of leadership is a wise and well-grounded decision, because without trust, leaders have nothing." --Panu Luukka, founder and corporate culture designer, Leidenschaft
"Trust Rules provides succinct, smart, practical guidance on how to create a high-trust, high-performing workplace. Every manager should read this book and refer to it often." --Michael Burchell, expert, organization solutions, McKinsey & Company
"The goal of creating a great company culture can sometimes feel daunting. Bob Lee's Trust Rules breaks the process down into easy to understand management practices that can be applied on a daily basis to improve the work environment.

"Trust Rules works on so many levels. It's simple yet sharp, an easy, thoughtful read. Most important, it provides real context--and that's where it's different from other books. It's a great read for every level of manger because it acts as a powerful reminder for us to do the right things right." --Garry McCabe, human resources director, Kuehne + Nagel
"An informative and easy read. Being relatively new to the world of management, I recommend diving headfirst into this book. Everyone constructs their own management style--if you are in search of yours, you'll find inspiration and clear direction within these pages." --Luke Taaffe, front office manager, Clontarf Castle Hotel
"Trust Rules is a practical guide for managers at any stage of their career. In our ever-changing workplace it is inspiring to read a book that teaches managers how to lead in a way that embraces the enduring values that build and maintain extraordinary workplaces." --Cheryl Naja, director of pro bono and community service, Alston & Bird
