Trust at work has been in the news a lot recently. Whether it’s Zoom fatigue caused by too many pointless meetings, employers using software to spy on employees in their own homes or forced returns to the office, it is clear that our new world of work still doesn’t sit comfortably with some employers.

My guest this week is Carolyn Taylor, a global thought leader on corporate culture change. Carolyn has written a brilliant new book called , which offers some very practical advice on building a scalable system of accountability that will help everyone who leads a team.
