Nairobi, August 8 2016 – The Raiser Resource Group, a regional company specialising in performance improvement and the representative of Franklin Covey in Kenya has announced that it will host a two-day seminar featuring Stephen M. R. Covey, New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author of The Speed of Trust.
Mr. Covey who will be making his maiden tour to Kenya is expected to meet with 100 top chief executives, business owners and entrepreneurs during his visit.
Raiser Resource Group Chief Executive Officer Mr. Ian Ng’ethe said that Mr. Covey is expected to lead an interactive session with the C-suite level executives on trust and its relevance to growing business.
“Covey will hold various outcome based sessions focused on the importance of trust; the first for leading 100 CEOs in Kenya, the second will be for executives across various industries and finally he will hold exclusive sessions with select organizations’, said Mr. Ng’ethe.
The CEO breakfast with Covey on 30th August is at an investment of KShs. 65,000. Executives interested in attending the full day seminar on 31st August will need to invest Kshs 80,000 for VIP tickets and 60,000 for standard tickets. The sessions will be hosted at The Radisson Blu Hotel, Nairobi.
The 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer revealed that there is a 12 percent trust gap between the informed public and mass population, driven by income inequality and divergent expectations of the future. This implies that the inequality will bring about a number of consequences such as the rise of populist politicians, the blocking of innovation and the onset of protectionism and nativism?
Other key findings from the 2016 Edelman Trust Barometer include:
- 78 percent of respondents said they trusted their family and friends on social networking sites more than CEOs
- Respondents want to see a shift in CEO focus from short-term results and lobbying to job creation (49 percent) and positive long-term impact (57 percent). They want business leaders more visible in discussions of income inequality and public policy (80 percent).
- Despite an increase of one point to 42 percent globally, government remains the least trusted institution for the fifth year running.
- Globally, family-owned companies (66 percent) remain most trusted, trailed by public (52 percent) and state-owned (46 percent) businesses.
- For the fifth consecutive year, search engines (63 percent) and traditional media (58 percent) remain the two most trusted sources for general news and information. Online media jumped 8 points to 53 percent and is now the third most trusted source, followed by owned media, which is up 3 points to 46 percent and social media (44 percent).
“Trust is the foundational driver for an organization’s sustained success. It is for this reason that organizations that have created trust as a competency, have a stronger competitive edge, notice a growth in market share, and have the loyalty of their employees, customers and partners,” added Mr. Ng’ethe.
