"Trust arrives on foot but leaves on horseback."Our guest today is Veronica Hope Hailey, Emeritus Professor at the School of Management, University of Bath, expert on trust and organisational change and mother to 5 daughters. During the COVID-19 pandemic Veronica published two fascinating reports (Responsible Business in Crisis – Rebuilding Cultures of Trust) which featured over 100 interviews with CEOs, CFOs, CMOs and HRDs on their experience of leading through the first 2 years of the Pandemic. They tell the story of responsible business and trustworthy leadership through the peak and the aftermath of the pandemic.As well as sharing her personal journey progressing her career as a mother to 5 children, Veronica gives useful insights and practical tips on fostering trust in the workplace, particularly if you're working (or hoping to work) flexibly.  Enjoy the conversation. Find out more about the work of Leaders Plus, including details of our award-winning Fellowship Programmes and our latest events by signing up to receive our emails at leadersplus.org.uk/newsletter.If you’d like to submit a question to the Big Careers, Small Children podcast please record it here https://www.speakpipe.com/BigCareersSmallChildrenAre you progressing a big career whilst raising small children?
