Assessment
Leadership Insight:
Leadership Trust Index (LTI)
- Is your CEO trusted? Have you asked your team—rather than your CEO—this question?
- Which trust habits are your leaders strong in, and where are their blind spots?
- Where does your board rank on the BE KIND score? (Spoiler: This is often the weakest area for many leaders.)
- Do your leadership development programs rely on measured trust—or assumptions?

Comparison: Managing Without Data vs. With LTI
Without Knowing the Trust Index
With the Trust Index
Trust Measurement
Intuition and guesswork — “I think my team trusts me.”
Clear insight into which leadership behaviors need improvement.
Blind Spot Detection
A +29% perception gap between CEO self-perception and employee perception.
Alignment between how leaders see themselves and how employees perceive them, enabling a high-trust environment.
Development Plan
Generic leadership training for all managers.
Personalized development actions (e.g., if BE KIND score is low → empathy coaching).
Benchmarking
Limited perspective based on internal opinions.
Global Leadership Trust Benchmark.
Trustworthiness = Competence × Integrity × Benevolence. A multiplicative formula—if any factor is zero, the entire trust score collapses.
For example:
If a CEO scores 10/10 in DELIVER (results) but 3/10 in BE KIND, overall trust remains low.
