Reviews

"Smart, empowering, and easy to follow, Dreeke's manual should become a classic business--and personal--primer on the art of building trust." --Publishers Weekly "Dreeke delivers a pragmatic, patriotic recipe for the key ingredient of leadership: trust. . . . A book of broad application with useful lessons for everyone from Girl Scouts to corporate masters to world leaders--and aspiring spies, too." --Kirkus Reviews "As someone who has spent my career in the public and private intelligence fields, I feel this work provides great insights into the social psychological aspects of interpersonal dynamics from someone who has spent a lot of time in analyzing the criminal mind. A great insight for anyone with an interest in social psychology and how it impacts interpersonal relationships." --Phil Houston, CEO QVerity, 26 year veteran of CIA and co-author of the New York Times bestsellers Spy The Lie and Get The Truth "To paraphrase Charles Dickens, it is the best of times, the worst of times, the age of wisdom, the age of foolishness, the spring of hope, the winter of despair. The Code of Trust is an antidote to the cynicism and fear of today. Robin Dreeke, my friend and colleague from the FBI, will take you on a delightful journey -- his journey--to more effective leadership at a time when we ache for such genuine skills in others." --Reid Meloy Ph.D., forensic psychologist, author, and consultant to The FBI "The foundation of leadership is trust. Robin shares his successful and, sometimes, unsuccessful experiences as a United States Marine Corps officer and as a FBI behavioral analyst that allowed him to crack the code to build trusting relationships. This book is a must read for leaders and those who aspire to lead." --Jack Schafer, author of The Like Switch "Trust is one of life's biggest obstacles, which is why Robin Dreeke's book is so important. The Code of Trust gets to the heart of the issue by addressing the core of how we build and inspire trust. His real world examples in stressful situations offer an engaging backdrop to learn about human nature." --Shane Parrish, publisher of the renown Farnam Street blog
