From the bestselling author of The Speed of Trust, a revolutionary
new way to lead, deemed "the defining leadership book in the 21st
century" (Admiral William McRaven, author of Make Your Bed) that
"every parent, teacher, and leader needs" (Esther Wojcicki, author of
How to Raise Successful People).
We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has
changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations,
teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of
"command and control," focusing on hierarchies and compliance from
people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce,
work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live,
this way of leading is drastically outdated.
Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life's work to understand trust in
leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative
book, Trust and Inspire, he offers a simple yet bold solution: to
shift from this "command and control" model to a leadership style of
"trust and inspire." People don't want to be managed; they want to be
led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the
belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential.
People with this kind of leader are inspired to become the best version
of themselves and to produce their best work. In this "beautifully
written page-turner" (Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School professor),
Covey offers the solution to the future of work: where a dispersed
workforce will be the norm, necessitating trust and collaboration across
time zones, cultures, personalities, generations, and technology.
Trust and Inspire calls for a radical shift in the way we lead in the
21st century, and Covey shows us how.
