The trust gap you can’t see

Damon West has spent his life studying what holds people together when conditions go hostile. His read on why this book matters lands on the same point I’ve been making all week:

“The most important thing I know about lasting change—in a life, a team, or an organization—is that character under pressure isn’t accidental. It’s built. That’s why Before It Breaks matters. The Coffee Bean is about choosing what you become when the water gets hot. Gearl Loden shows leaders how to build the trust infrastructure that lets a team hold its shape under heat. The Loden Trust Framework turns trust into seven behavioral disciplines—so your leadership doesn’t fracture when it’s tested. If you lead people, this belongs on your desk.”
