Speed ​​of trust

In his powerful book, The Speed ​​of Trust, Stephen M. R. Covey explains why trust has become the key to effective leadership in the new global economy. He skillfully teaches readers how to cultivate lasting trust in their personal and professional relationships, enabling them to achieve unparalleled success and lasting prosperity in all aspects of their lives. He shows business, government, and educational leaders how to quickly and reliably earn the trust of their customers, colleagues, peers, and constituents. He explains that when trust increases, so does speed and cost, resulting in what Covey calls the "trust dividend." Covey reveals thirteen common behaviors of highly trusting leaders around the world and convincingly presents actionable insights that will enable you to change your behavior to increase—and cultivate—trust in the important relationships in your life. The book begins within each of us, like a small ripple in a stream, continues within our relationships, then extends to our organizations and our marketplace, ultimately encompassing our broader global community. Covey offers a roadmap for building trust at every level, character and competence, enhancing credibility, and creating leadership that inspires self-confidence. Stephen M.R.
