The SPEED of TRUST

“The one thing that changes everything”

By Stephen M.R. Covey

 

There is one thing that is common to every individual, relationship, team, family, organization, nation, economy, and civilization throughout the world – one thing which, if it is removed, will destroy the most powerful government, the most successful business, the most thriving economy, the most influential leadership, the greatest friendship, the strongest character, the deepest love.

On the other hand, if developed and leveraged, the one thing has the potential to create unparalleled success and prosperity in every dimension of life. Yet, it is the least understood, most neglected, and most underestimated possibility of our time.

That one thing is trust.

Trust impacts us 24/7, 365 days a year. It under girds and affects the quality of every relationship, every communication, every work, every business venture, every effort in which we are engaged. It changes the quality of every present moment and alters the trajectory and outcome of every future moment of our lives – both personally and professionally.

Contrary to what most people believe, trust is not some soft, illusive quality that you either have or you don’t; rather, trust is a pragmatic, tangible, actionable asset that you can create – much faster than you probably think possible.

Motivation for recommendation:This book is essential in a time when South African people are traumatized and disillusioned by crime, politics, industrial action and broken relationship. Stephen Covey offers practical guidance on topics such as self; relationship; stakeholder and inspiring trust.”
