Paul J. Zak<\/a>, the author of Trust Factor<\/a>, explains how the scientific work conducted on Oxytocin<\/a>, aka the love hormone, helps to understand how the culture of an organization is working.<\/p>\n

You can benchmark your organization on the eight key factors presented in\u00a0Learning from the neuroscience of trust<\/a> by answering the 16 questions of the Ofactor Pulse test<\/a> (I encourage you to read the book and respond to the test when triggered).<\/p>\n

Questions are based on observable behaviors, which make them relatively easy to answer. For example, one is: “My leader treats setbacks and mistakes I make as a valuable opportunity to learn and try something new”. From “Strongly Agree” to “Strongly Disagree”, you can find where you stand.<\/p>\n

Your overall trust score could push you to dig more, and the full ratings a good idea of where to start investigating the potential changes in your behavior to create the conditions you want.<\/p>\n
