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.

Valuable lessons, great examples...

We trust doctors to perform surgery on our hearts. But can they be trusted with babysitting our kids?

Stephen M.R. Covey explains the character and competence side of trust.
How we on personal, relationship, work, global marketplace and society depend - and unknowingly live by - the integrity, intent, capabilities and results of ourselves and others.

Easy to listen to - great to hear the authors voice!

Everybody, children, parents, presidents and janitors should recieve a 1 hour summary of these principles. And when ready to delve deeper, listen to/read this book.

The book is great but the reader...

Reading should have been outsourced to a professional. The story and the content is really valuable and good!

Interesting but repetitive and too long

If boiled down to 90 minutes this would be a great guidebook but as it is it is annoyingly repetitive and circular

lovely tips on building trust account.

I enjoyed reading every bit of it. Though tempted to stop but stories attached to theory kept roping me back and forth.
It was worth the time

Not what I expected

To be fair, I paid little attention and thought it was his father the author, none the less gave it a fair shot and listened to it until the end. Some few things can be rescued but then it is quite dull.
