Product Description:
From Stephen R. Covey's eldest son comes a revolutionary new path towards productivity and satisfaction. Trust, says Stephen M.R. Covey, is the very basis of the new global economy, and he shows how trust—and the speed at which it is established with clients, employees and constituents—is the essential ingredient for any high–performance, successful organization.
For business leaders and public figures in any arena, The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in our every transaction and relationship—from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction—and how to establish trust immediately so that you and your organization can forego the time–killing, bureaucratic check–and–balance processes so often deployed in lieu of actual trust.

COVEY talks about business and personal life as if the principles of trust are interchangeable between the two, and to my liking doesn't pull it off. He makes no mention of the role feelings and intuition play, personally a substantial part in how much trust I place in relationships with people in my private life, and sometimes in business too. While COVEY talks about concepts like judgement, evidence, fact based measurement, ... Read More
Rating: - Should be common sense but people still lie
My title is actually all I need to say, but will add this. All the money in the world cannot buy you a good name, which people trust. Most of the BS going on today in the finacial and mortgage sectors could not have happened if people understood trust.
I bought this in the audio book format because I wanted to understand trust. Not that I lie, but I wanted to understand all the damage that happens when people, especially in business, lie. Trust has to be earned, and, when broken, it take a long ... Read More
