Keir Starmer and the Psychology of Trust

In today’s turbulent political climate, trust in leadership is under intense scrutiny. Expectations are high, scepticism is widespread, and the margin for error is small.In this episode, we’re joined by Stuart Duff, Partner and Head of Leadership at Pearn Kandola, to unpack the critical role of trust in effective leadership. We explore the psychology behind different types of trust, how these are built, and the key qualities people seek in leaders they can rely on.Through this lens, we examine Keir Starmer’s recent political challenges and consider how his ability to foster trust within his party may be integral to navigating these uncertain times.Follow for a new episode every Friday!References:Conlin, M.
