As authors, researchers, and practitioners, Pamela ShockleyZalabak, Ph.D., and Sherwyn Morreale, Ph.D., are ideally positioned to write a book about building and rebuilding trust. Their combined publishing record includes over 23 books and 150 journal articles, many of which have carefully probed the nature of trust. Their research-based trust model developed with international colleagues and tested in organizations of many types and descriptions, includes five trust drivers—the reasons why trust is present or absent: 1) Competence; 2) Openness and Honesty; 3) Concern for Others; 4) Reliability; and 5) Identification. In 2010, they published their first critically acclaimed book on building trust. In 2016, they applied the five trust drivers in two national censusrepresentative surveys to explore voters’ perceptions of their trust in the presidential candidates—Clinton and Trump. In a third national survey, they examined voters’ perceptions of trust in Trump after his first two years as a President. Over the years, they have traveled globally examining trust in leaders in Europe, China, Poland, and Russia, publishing findings and conclusions about the importance of trust, regardless of international boundaries.
