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.

Great message!

Book was a great message. Listening it for work. Like most business books, it could have been shortened by about 100 pages without losing the point. But the stories and examples were good though. Not sure I would have read the whole thing if it wasn't for work. Overall good book.

Highly Comprehensive and Valuable

Deep dive on the importance of trust in personal and professional relationships. Provides specific behaviors and stories to help listener build, maintain, and rebuild trust.

Recommend for anyone in business management and entrepreneurs.

Some of the examples are dated but the overall content is well organized and comprehensive.

Great to see such a strong book from the late Stephen Covey's son; a fantastic legacy.

Great read, not hard to understand his narration

Great book, definitely worth reading if you are into self-growth. In regards to the reviews about how difficult he is to understand, I think people are being too harsh. He was much easier to understand than I expected, even after increasing the listening speed. Was Covey my all-time favorite reader? No, but the fact that I get to hear the words from him directly more than makes up for any minor mispronunciations.

Content was great

But delivery a bit monotone making concentration difficult. May be better served with a print version. At the very least try bite size portions.

Content on point but some terrible audio skips.

Check chapter 46, minute 4-5. There are other skips also. Otherwise the content is great!

Thinking about your reactions

What made the experience of listening to The Speed of Trust the most enjoyable?

I really enjoyed the real life stories and how they connected to my own life. It really made me stop and think about my own reactions to others.

Faboulous

Stephen M.R. Covey is his father's son but so much his own person. This book is so full of great inspiration for business, families and individuals.

Places emphasis on the trust we need

This audiobook was inspirational. I enjoyed every single moment listening to this book whereas I bought It's a copy to take with me. I recommend this book for any small to large company or organization.

a primer on trust-building
