Stephen M. R. Covey is one of the world’s experts on trust. A Harvard MBA, he’s the author of "The Speed of Trust" – a New York Times bestseller that has sold over 2mm copies.
Covey had a rather uncommon upbringing; he watched his father construct & later write “The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People,” one of the Top 50 best-selling books of all time – & a classic in the leadership genre.
From this experience came the joy of seeing his father achieve extraordinary influence & success, but also the personal challenge of figuring out how to emerge from his father’s shadow, & make his own mark in the world.
In this podcast, Covey candidly shares the journey which led him to discovering the profound importance of trust in relationships & in business. And not unlike how the word “heart” is often mistaken for being “soft” in management, Covey knows first-hand that “trust” is often seen as being a “nice-to-have” rather than an essential leadership component.
The surprise for listeners is that Covey’s years of research proves that "trust is an economic driver, not just a social value." Low-trust organizations pay a “tax" that needlessly limits their financial performance. And high-trust organizations get rewarded with a “dividend” – a performance multiplier that accelerates the speed of communications, interactions, & decisions – consistently producing far greater success.
Covey brings wonderful energy to this discussion that will leave you nothing short of inspired.
