In this opening segment of the YouTube video, Ashish Kothari introduces the concept that trust is essential for organizational speed. He references the "relational alignment" idea within his Level 7 Leadership framework and asks how trust has made or broken performance in teams. Speaker B affirms the premise, stating unequivocally that no organization can move quickly without trust. The dialogue sets up a deeper exploration of how leaders can intentionally deepen trust to unlock higher performance.

We want to move fast and trust can help us do that. And so I want to talk a little bit about that relational alignment concept in your framework in Level 7 Leadership and the role of trust, how you've seen it make or break, and how specifically, if you're a leader, can you start to deepen that trust that allows amazing things for humans to do?
Yeah. Thank you for bringing that up. I mean, I think there's no speed in any organization without trust, full stop.
