Synopsis

Trust: It’s the one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy, and civilization throughout the world— one thing which, if removed, could destroy the most powerful government, the most successful business, the strongest character, and the deepest love.

 

On the other hand, if developed and leveraged, trust has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. Yet it is the least understood, the most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time. Trust impacts us 24/7, 365 days a year.

 

Like the proverbial ripple in the pond, The Speed of Trust begins within each of us personally, continues in to our relationships, expands into our organizations and ultimately encompasses our global society. Covey reveals the thirteen behaviors common to high-trust leaders throughout the world and demonstrates actionable insights that will enable listeners to shift their behavior to increase trust in all of their critical relationships. Covey convincingly makes the case that trust is a measurable accelerator to performance and that when trust goes up, speed also goes up while cost comes down, and producing what Covey calls a “trust dividend.”

Goodreads review by Janet on March 20, 2008

Stephen M.R. Covey, the son, was head of training for his father's company. The book is needlessly long and I didn't need to be sold on the value of trust (which is why the book is so long), hence, why the 3 star rating. Long sections of the book are very general and boring and I kept thinking how t......more

Goodreads review by Tim on September 08, 2009

The bulk of this short book might be characterized as "moral philosophy 101." It will be informative for moral imbeciles and those (many, by the measure of apparent business ethics) who don't believe that personal and business ethics have any connection. It's a basic outline of how to extend and cre......more

Goodreads review by Jacob on July 22, 2008

This phenomenal book has been out less than a year but I thought it just as good if not a better read than 7 Habits written by his father. This book so perfectly describes trust, breaks it down and shows how relevant it is in business, home, and all other arenas of life.......more

Goodreads review by Steve on February 17, 2016

There's a certain formula to these business-guru books: checklist of improved ways of working ("4 cores" and "13 behaviours", check), strained acronyms ("TASKS", check), a pseudo-scientific formula leading to a spuriously calculated buzzphrase ("trust tax", check), an overarching theme ("5 waves of......more
