42: Building a Trust-Based Culture // Barry Slauenwhite, Compassion Canada

Ralph Waldo Emerson once wrote, "Trust men and they will be true to you; treat them greatly, and they will show themselves great." We couldn't agree more with this principle, and today's guest is a living example of it. Time and again, we've seen that building a culture of trust not only improves employees' daily workplace experience, but even leads to increased productivity and thus ministry impact. Today, we're talking with <a href= "https://www.compassion.ca/our-leadership/" target= "_blank">Barry Slauenwhite, president of <a href= "https://www.compassion.ca/" target="_blank">Compassion Canada, who has served there since 1983. Over the past several years, Compassion Canada has experienced 20% annual growth, while giving new promise and purpose to 1.4 million children around the world. Barry has very intentionally created a culture of trust and integrity by casting a vision for the company's culture and then enforcing it relentlessly. He demonstrates trustworthiness and demands it in his employees, and today's discussion is jam-packed with wisdom from a humble leader.
