Twenty-five years ago, when Jimmy Wales launched Wikipedia, people predicted its demise. Instead, this global experiment in sharing knowledge has become part of the fabric of modern, connected life. Billions view Wikipedia articles each month. Long before it became the world's biggest collection of knowledge in history, Wikipedia had to overcome its greatest challenge: getting strangers to trust each other. Trust, Wales says, is a treasure. But it is not inanimate, like gold or gems. Trust is a living thing that must be cultivated. Packed with stories and lessons from the early days of Wikipedia and insights from the world's greatest trust-makers. The Seven Rules of Trust will teach you how to put trust at the center of what you do - and how to build things that stand the test of time.
