Sober research in this week Management Today revealing stagnant levels of trust in our business leaders by their employees.
In a time of scandal and public cynicism, trust in leaders is more important than ever.
However, trust levels in line managers and CEOs have remained stagnant over the past 14 years.
The study, conducted by The Institute of Leadership, found that line managers scored an overall trust rating of 67, slightly lower than in previous years, while CEOs scored 62.
The public sector, in particular, showed lower levels of trust compared to the private and third sectors.
Age and working patterns were also found to have an impact on trust levels.
