From Stephen R. Covey's eldest son comes a revolutionary book that will guide business leaders, public figures, and their organisations towards unprecedented productivity and satisfaction.

Trust, says Stephen M. R. Covey, is the very basis of the 21st century's global economy, but its power is generally overlooked and misunderstood. Covey shows you how to inspire immediate trust in everyone you encounterβ€”colleagues, constituents, the marketplaceβ€”allowing you to forego the time-killing and energy-draining check and balance bureaucracies that are so often relied upon in lieu of actual trust.

The Speed of Trust is an essential read for anyone looking to unlock the hidden potential of authentic trust in their professional and personal lives.
