Trust HackedÉdition 1

Trust Hacked by Nia Luckey redefines leadership for the digital age, framing trust not as a soft skill but as critical infrastructure. Drawing on her military and cybersecurity background, Nia presents the Trust Protocol, a strategic, actionable framework modelled on cybersecurity principles. The book argues that trust, like a firewall, must be systematically designed, monitored, and maintained.

Through compelling stories and practical tools, Luckey explores three core pillars: Authentication (proving credibility through consistency), Encryption (creating psychological safety), and Resilience (planning for inevitable trust breaches). She provides leaders with diagnostics, playbooks, and rituals to embed trust into daily operations, teams, and organizational culture. The final chapters address leading through AI and automation, emphasizing ethical oversight and human judgment.

Trust Hacked is a battle-tested guide for building antifragile organizations where trust is engineered to withstand pressure, recover from failure, and become a lasting competitive advantage.
