Are we at the beginning of a new leadership crisis? Acording to a recent HBR ariticle by Beinhocker, Davis and Mendoca, a low trust environment leads to higher transaction costs, diminished customer loyalty, lower brand value, poorer talent retention, negative publicity and unwanted regulation.  
  
But perhaps if we can find a way to identify and measure enhanced leadership behavior, perhaps there is light at the end of the tunnel.
