Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: In the riveting style of The Tipping Point, Stephen M. R. Covey uncovers the overlooked and underestimated power of trust in a gripping look into what he calls "the one thing that changes everything." Groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting, The Speed of Trust demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver -- a learnable and measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing. The former CEO of Covey Leadership Center (founded by his father, Dr. Stephen R. Covey), Covey draws on his experience leading a $100 million enterprise to explain how trust can help you create unparalleled success and sustainable prosperity in every dimension of life. He reveals the 13 Behaviors common to high-trust leaders and persuasively demonstrates actionable insights that will enable you to increase and inspire trust in all of your important relationships. The Speed of Trust presents a road map to establish trust on every level, build character and competence, enhance credibility, and create leadership that inspires confidence.

Customer Reviews
Buy one for each of your staff members!
Great book that can help people get to the bottom of things. If we can't trust each other we both lose! Applies to your company's relationships to your customers and to your vendors as well! Great read and even better information!

Worth reading
Nutshell review - A good insight and explanation of how trust amongst colleagues, friends, and family can have positive impact on performance. Suffers from the usual page-filling case-studies to make the requisite number of pages for a book.

This IS the ONE Thing that changes everything
Clear. Compelling.
This made me realize that my company was dysfunctional due to a clear lack of trust along the lines of the organization. One chart in this book very clearly identified the behaviors and patterns that were a result of the level of mis-trust. I immediately re-directed my energies into building trust-worthy professional relationships with my most-respected co-workers, while explaining the motivation and purpose of my actions. When I left the company, the professional and personal relationships that had the foundation of trust endured.
On my way out, I dropped my copy of this book on my boss' desk. He was a untrustworthy manipulator and it was freeing to make that realization.

The 4 Core Trust Principles are Right On and Realistic
As a software startup oriented around managing people's expenses, trust is what can only be considered table stakes. Steven Covey has clearly identified what it takes to build trust. Sure, it might be things we all know but what helped me is that it identified the stages necessary to building it. I've included more about his book here, check out [...]

Trusting the Speed of Trust
When I read 'Speed of Trust' I had many "ah hah" moments. Either I had just read an explanation for something that had bothered me in the past, or I understood just why I had trusted someone or that person had trusted me. For both the realizations of what worked in the past and the realizations having to do with things that had not worked and why, this book is fabulous! It also pointed out to my just why trust is so essential, and why some relationships are absolutely doomed to failure -- because the trust levels don't match. This book is not about blame, it's about what is and what a person can do to create more trust (provided that is what you want). I recommend it very highly!
