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.
