As 2026 begins, BizBlend host Sana sits down with leadership author Ivan Radovic to unpack why trust is harder to earn than ever, even when results look great on paper. Ivan shares how trust breaks quietly through small missed commitments, and why real leadership starts with self-trust before team trust.

This episode is for founders, managers, and ambitious professionals who feel stretched thin, overcommitted, or stuck trying to “be everything to everyone.” You will walk away with practical ways to build trust through everyday follow-through, honest communication, and clear boundaries.

About the Guest:

Ivan Radovic is the president and founder of Novasys, a global consulting firm trusted by Fortune 500 companies and U.S. federal agencies for over 25 years. He is the author of Trust360 and creator of the Trust-Based Leadership Framework.

Key Takeaways:

• Trust starts with keeping small promises to yourself (time, health, boundaries).

• Build “trust capital” through micro-deposits: follow-ups, clarity, consistency.

• Say “I don’t know” sooner and ask for help early, not at the deadline.

• Protect your calendar so your commitments match reality.

• Use AI as support, not a replacement for your voice and personality.

• Failures build resilience and reliability, which earns long-term trust.
