The Nine Habits of Trust Model
The Nine Habits of Trust model, developed through six years of research at Aston Business School, is the only academically verified behavioral framework for building trust in leadership. Grounded in the three pillars of ability, integrity, and benevolence, it demonstrates that Trustworthiness = ability x integrity x benevolence. To succeed, leaders must strengthen all nine habits in parallel, as any blind spots create a trust deficit and limit their capacity to build high-trust teams and organizations that deliver results, relationships, and reputation.
