Why must you build trust and rapport in your relationships for them to be successful?
“Trust is the coin of the realm.” – George Shultz
In diplomacy, listening is critical. George Shultz had a knack for it. At Ronald Reagan’s side, Shultz helped broker the end of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, overcoming decades of tension and distrust.
