Trusted Leader Quiz™

Rate Yourself as a Trusted Leader

Projects are built on trust. Don't just manage your projects - become a trusted leader. This quiz will help you determine your score as a trusted leader.

Leadership counts! It is the key to partnering success. Those project leaders that know how to develop and maintain high trust relationships on their projects consistently produce better bottom-line results. The graph below shows that there is a direct correlation between the level of trust on a project and the project's cost. In other words, as trust goes up, costs go down; as trust goes down, costs go up. Leadership is the key to developing a high-trust atmosphere.
