The Trust Deficit in Change Programmes

Nov06

Trust, not resistance, determines whether change succeeds or fails. In this article, Alize Hofmeester explores how hidden trust gaps quietly derail transformation efforts. From the illusion of commitment to the real cost of distrust, she unpacks why so many change programmes lose momentum and what leaders can do to rebuild confidence, transparency, and connection across their organisations. When trust becomes the true currency of change, transformation finally takes root.
