Publisher's Summary

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.

Good book, good tips!

I liked the overall context of the book but it took a while to get through as I found a lot of the content to be a bit dry. But the tips and advice were mostly great and I learned a lot about trust and how it can be applied to everyday life, not just in romantic relationships.

Read it

This book provides a powerful new frame by which to view organizations and your own interactions. I was initially attracted to this book to enhance my profession and career, but, similar to his father’s contributions, I found it applied to and changed me as a whole person.

Stephen’s nasally, breathy and sometimes staccato reading detracts from the message. However, occasionally the principles and stories would pull me in and I would forget.

Overall, I very much recommend this book and will look back to it often for advice.

Very insightful audiobook on trust taxes

This has been a very insightful audiobook that helps you see the taxes you didn't even know you were spending when trust is not properly administered and received. Trust is so essential to success in all areas of life.
