We are THRILLED to announce that today is the long awaited official publication date of “The SPEED of Trust” by Stephen M. R. Covey.
We know your time is precious and that we are certainly biased, but we are confident you will join the CEO of Black & Decker, Nolan Archibald, in discovering that “The SPEED of Trust” is well worth your time. He put it this way:
“When I received this book and was asked to read it and offer my comments, my first impulse was, ‘I don’t have the time.’ However, as I read the foreword, then the first few chapters, I could not put it down. It is exactly what business leaders need today. This book gets to the core roots of ethical behavior and integrity and how ‘trust’ is the most critical factor in effective leaders and organizations. Covey discusses with clarity and insight how to develop trust through character and competence and how ‘trusted’ leaders and organizations do things better, faster, and at lower costs. Everyone should make the time to read this book.”
William Parrett, CEO of Deloitte Touche Tomatsu, adds,
“The Speed ofTrust is Red-hot relevant.”
Yes, we know, you still have books you have not finished reading on your bedside stand. However, this book is different; we know you will finish this one. As Nolan Archibald said above, he could not put it down. Besides, trust is the one thing that will change your relationships and career for the better.
As Chris Anderson, Publisher of WIRED magazine and author of the hot new book “The Long Tail,” told Stephen in a recent interview: “The currency of the old economy was simply money. The new currency is trust itself. People confer their attention to the people who have earned it. So trust is the new currency of the reputation economy.”
Dr. Laura said: “Want to be an irresistible positive force? Combine personal responsibility with compassion and respect for others. Want to know how to do this perfectly? Read The Speed of Trust.”
One last plug, October 8th’s New York Times’ Book Review had this to say: “Of the three [books], the most intriguing is “The Speed of Trust” (Free Press, $26), by Mr. Covey, a Harvard M.B.A. who previously ran the Covey Leadership Center, which featured the work of his father, Stephen R. Covey—a guru in his own right as author of ‘The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.’ The younger Mr. Covey, a potential guru himself, defines trust as a combination of character and competence.”
