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.

A must- have for parents and leaders!

Great advice. Easy to follow application- would only wish to have access to the handouts- perhaps linked to the audio book. Other than that, I see myself applying these principles as a parent, leader and friend.

Good points/learning and growth opportunities

A stand out in the covey portfolio. Stories and examples to make the content relevant. Could be half the length and get the same message and teachings across.

Good Content

I thought this had some great content. Much of is was self-evident, but Covey does a great job backing up is organization of the outline with case studies and research. I got a lot out of this book.

Good info, but way too long

The concepts are solid but could have easily been thoroughly covered in 1/3 the length.

struggled to finish, never so happy to get to the end of a book. I would go with the shorter version of the book

Great content, twice as long as it needed to be

Great topic, but not sure why the author chose to drone on and on hammering and repeating the points over and over again. Could have been 6 hours instead of 12 hours long and just as effective

Informative

The information was excellent and leaders of companies really should read this book. The knowledge that you gain from this book would provide insight to mangers and non-managers in having a good team.
