Paperback. Trust is built the same way everywhere. It is broken differently in every place.George W. Bickerstaff, III has lived in five countries on four continents, moved seventeen times, been chief financial officer six times, and sat on more than forty boards. In every country the rules of trust were different, and nobody handed him the rulebook when he landed.This book is one life told as a set of rooms. A kitchen table in Pittsburgh where eight children learned trust without knowing it was a lesson. A payroll paid by thumbprint under a half-built library in Sao Paulo, where a young woman with an English accent translated, and later became his wife. A car turned around on a turntable in Brussels. A first day in Basel, thirty minutes late in the country that trusts the clock. Forty flags outside an institute in Seoul. A doctor in Kigali who called him by a title he does not hold. Two doors at the Vatican, and the difference between them. A phone call on a bridge in Florence that cost more than any deal.From those rooms come eight rules that travel: say what you will do, then do it; learn the local clock, then honor it; tell the truth early, once, to everyone at the same time; show up in person, and come back; stand where the number was made before you trust it; pay the debt to the person who vouched for you; eat with people; keep your word to the people who cannot check it.And from the same rooms comes a map of how trust breaks: thirteen places on one grid, by whether trust there begins with the task or the relationship, and by what a breach of trust costs. Every chapter closes with one simple drawing, three things to take away, and three things to do.For the reader there is a full set of tools: the eight rules on one page, the grid to place your own rooms, a first-year calendar for anyone arriving somewhere new, nine questions for reading any room, ten questions before you cross a border, and the Trust Across Borders Test.Written for leaders, directors, expatriates, and anyone whose word has to hold in a place that is not their own. Plain language, first person, scenes first. The lesson, after all those countries, companies, and years, is simpler than the book: keep your word. This item is printed on demand. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Trust is built the same way everywhere. It is broken differently in every place.
George W. Bickerstaff, III has lived in five countries on four continents, moved seventeen times, been chief financial officer six times, and sat on more than forty boards. In every country the rules of trust were different, and nobody handed him the rulebook when he landed.
This book is one life told as a set of rooms. A kitchen table in Pittsburgh where eight children learned trust without knowing it was a lesson. A payroll paid by thumbprint under a half-built library in São Paulo, where a young woman with an English accent translated, and later became his wife. A car turned around on a turntable in Brussels. A first day in Basel, thirty minutes late in the country that trusts the clock. Forty flags outside an institute in Seoul. A doctor in Kigali who called him by a title he does not hold. Two doors at the Vatican, and the difference between them. A phone call on a bridge in Florence that cost more than any deal.
From those rooms come eight rules that travel: say what you will do, then do it; learn the local clock, then honor it; tell the truth early, once, to everyone at the same time; show up in person, and come back; stand where the number was made before you trust it; pay the debt to the person who vouched for you; eat with people; keep your word to the people who cannot check it.
And from the same rooms comes a map of how trust breaks: thirteen places on one grid, by whether trust there begins with the task or the relationship, and by what a breach of trust costs. Every chapter closes with one simple drawing, three things to take away, and three things to do.
For the reader there is a full set of tools: the eight rules on one page, the grid to place your own rooms, a first-year calendar for anyone arriving somewhere new, nine questions for reading any room, ten questions before you cross a border, and the Trust Across Borders Test.
Written for leaders, directors, expatriates, and anyone whose word has to hold in a place that is not their own. Plain language, first person, scenes first. The lesson, after all those countries, companies, and years, is simpler than the book: keep your word.

Derecho al desistimiento
Si es un consumidor, puede rescindir el contrato de acuerdo con lo siguiente. Por consumidor se entiende cualquier persona física que actúe con fines ajenos a su actividad comercial, empresarial, oficio o profesión.
Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
Deberá devolver los bienes o entregarlos a Grand Eagle Retail, Bensenville, Illinois, U.S.A., sin demoras indebidas y, en cualquier caso, en un plazo máximo de 14 días a partir del día en que nos comunique su desistimiento del presente contrato. El plazo se cumple si devuelve la mercancía antes de que venza el periodo de 14 días. Tendrá que asumir los gastos directos de devolución de los bienes. Usted solo es responsable de la disminución del valor de los bienes como resultado de una manipulación distinta a la necesaria para establecer la naturaleza, las características y el funcionamiento de los bienes.
Excepciones al derecho de desistimiento
El derecho de desistimiento no se aplica a lo siguiente:
- La entrega de periódicos, diarios o revistas, con la excepción de los contratos de suscripción; y
- El suministro de contenido digital que no se proporcione en un soporte tangible (por ejemplo, en un CD o DVD) si, al hacer el pedido, aceptó que podíamos empezar a entregarlo y que no podría desistir una vez iniciada la entrega.
