How much do you trust your colleagues? Do you need them to trust you? And how can we re-build trust once it’s broken?

To answer these questions, we’re joined by Dr. Brennan Jacoby, philosopher and founder of Philosophy at Work - an organisation that helps businesses think their best. Brennan holds a B.A., M.A. and Ph.D in philosophy, and his doctoral work analysed trust in the context of interpersonal relationships and corporate character.

We discuss:

• Different perspectives on ‘trust’
• The things that damage trust within teams
• What to do when trust is broken.
