How Kim Bohr Thinks About Leader Blind Spots for Preventing Trust Erosion

Trust isn’t “soft”—it’s measurable, and it directly impacts revenue, reputation, and retention. In this episode, Kenny Lange sits down with Kim Bohr, President & COO at SparkEffect, to unpack why well-intended leaders unintentionally erode trust through small daily actions. Kim explains SparkEffect Trust Elasticity™, how psychological safety strengthens teams during disruption, and why alignment between words and actions matters more than most leaders realize. You’ll walk away with practical steps—including the 5 Cs of Trust—to build trust resilience in the next season of change.
