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.

Our company requires us to read this clown's works. I had to read
7 Habits and 8th Habit. They stuck us with this one too. It is a good thing the Nazi's or Stalin did not have Covey working for them.
Here is the skinny:
"The Five Waves of Trust" define how we generate trust (self, market, societal, etc.)and act on them. He uses his typical methods to help you "self-programm" to enable you to speak and portray correct behavior to establish trust. With this skill you can become a leader who get others to produce the desired results by inspiring trust. (Can you hear the goose-stepping?)
I know I am hard on the guy BUT he fuels the corporate propaganda machine. They get tools from the guy to manipulate (under the guise of a pseudo-moral philosophy) employees into making some more cash for the stockholders and management. While the employees are being happily maneuvered into unemployment the golden parachutes are loaded onto the 747.

Covey nails it with this masterpiece. You would expect nothing less from the Covey brand. Basically, trust = character and compentance and this book explains each in detail and the 13 behaviors that will help any person increase trust in any and every environment. Whether you are a business person, pastor, or parent, this book will help.

I was very, very disappointed in "The Speed of Trust". All Covey did in this book was plagiarize other's previous works. No new ideas. There were many of Tom Peters ideas spread throughout. And Covey drags on and on. This book could have been 1/3 the size. If you have read management/leadership books in the past, this one will not cover any new ground for you. Better to invest your time with authors that offer original ideas in a concise format.

Amazon provides a very good service and you can have mind at rest after the purchase.

I've read several books by this guy. He's very intelligent. Pretty wordy. The condensed versions offer just as much - to me. Still, a powerful book if you're into self improvement.
