This program is read by the author with a forward read by Joe Navarro.
The former director of the FBI's behavioral analysis division shows listeners how to use trust to achieve anything in business and in life.
Robin Dreeke is a 28-year veteran of federal service, including the United States Naval Academy, United States Marine Corps. He served most recently as a senior agent in the FBI, with 20 years of experience. He was, until recently, the head of the Counterintelligence Behavioral Analysis Program, where his primary mission was to thwart the efforts of foreign spies, and to recruit American spies. His core approach in this mission was to inspire reasonable, well-founded trust among people who could provide valuable information.
The Code of Trust is based on the system Dreeke devised, tested, and implemented during years of field work at the highest levels of national security. Applying his system first to himself, he rose up through federal law enforcement, and then taught his system to law enforcement and military officials throughout the country, and later to private sector clients. The Code of Trust has since elevated executives to leadership, and changed the culture of entire companies, making them happier and more productive, as morale soared.
Inspiring trust is not a trick, nor is it an arcane art. It's an important, character-building endeavor that requires only a sincere desire to be helpful and sensitive, and the ambition to be more successful at work and at home. The Code of Trust is based on 5 simple principles:
1) Suspend Your Ego
2) Be Nonjudgmental
3) Honor Reason
4) Validate Others
5) Be Generous
To be successful with this system, a listener needs only the willingness to spend eight to ten hours learning a method of trust-building that took Robin Dreeke almost a lifetime to create.

      Complex problems can have simple answers, as FBI agent Dreeke (It’s Not All About Me) shows in this guide to building trust. He exhorts would-be leaders to follow the five principles of his “code of trust”—suspend your ego, be nonjudgmental, honor reason, validate others, and be generous—and the “four steps to inspiring trust,” which are an action plan that implements the code. The four steps—align your goals, apply the power of context, craft your encounters, and connect—are explained in detail. As an example of aligning goals, Dreeke uses the story of another agent who managed to recruit a difficult source by listening carefully to what the source wanted. “Applying the power of context” means using psychologist William Marston’s “science of finding human similarities” to mesh together different people’s communication styles. “Crafting the encounter” involves preparing opening remarks, asking for assistance, making an offering, and sticking to the subject—the other person. The fourth and arguably most important step is making an emotional connection. Smart, empowering, and easy to follow, Dreeke’s manual should become a classic business—and personal—primer on the art of building trust.
