Stephen M. R. Covey shows how trust--and the speed at which it is
established with clients, employees, and all stakeholders--is the single
most critical component of a successful leader and organization.
Stephen M. R. Covey, widely known as one of the world's leading
authorities on trust, asserts that it is "the most overlooked,
misunderstood, underutilized asset to enable performance. Its impact,
for good or bad, is dramatic and pervasive. It's something you can't
escape." Thankfully, it's is also the thing that can dramatically
improve your personal and professional success.
Why trust? The simple, often overlooked fact is this: work gets done
with and through people. The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented
and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in every
transaction and every relationship--from the most personal to the
broadest, most indirect interaction. It specifically demonstrates how to
establish trust intentionally so that you and your organization can
forego the time-killing, bureaucratic check-and-balance processes that
is so often deployed in lieu of actual trust.
This 2018 updated edition includes an insightful afterword by the author
which explores ten key reasons why trust is more relevant now than ever
before--including how trust is the new currency of our world today.
