The Trust Advantage: Lessons – With George Bickerstaff

In this new episode of Mastering Workplace Culture, hosts S. Chris Edmonds and Mark S. Babbitt welcome George Bickerstaff, former Fortune 10 CFO, investment banker, board chairman, healthcare leader, author of more than 40 books, and founder of the Global Leaders Network.

Over a remarkable 40-year career, George has served on more than 40 corporate and nonprofit boards, led global organizations, raised hundreds of millions of dollars for strategic initiatives, and built one of the world's most influential executive communities.

Yet his guiding principle remains surprisingly simple: Find good, smart people doing interesting things and help them.

Throughout this fascinating conversation, George shares lessons about trust, leadership, governance, board effectiveness, organizational culture, executive decision-making, networking, faith, and the importance of helping people connect, share, and evolve together.

One of George's most memorable observations: "Connect, share, and evolve."

That philosophy guided his leadership career and ultimately led to the creation of a global network of executives, directors, CEOs, CFOs, investors, founders, and leaders representing a significant portion of the world's economic activity.

One theme appears again and again: Trust is the foundation of everything.
