Product Description
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.

 So Poorly Written, I Could Not See the Message October 12, 2008
A friend and collegue called me from a, "Speed of Trust" workshop, and said that I had to read this book - it was so great. My friend is a decent writer himself, and I trust his judgement. However, he did not actually read the book. He attended the workshop. From that I conclude that the workshop and concepts are probably good, which is why I gave it three stars instead of two. Nevertheless, I could not get past the poor writing. I struggled through the first two chapters and had to set the book aside.
 Very profound October 10, 2008
This book is very applicable in every relationship that you have. Trust affects not only business, but also your personal relationships with your family and especially with your own self worth and self confidence. This is truly a profound book. It really goes hand-in-hand with another book I read called "The Book on Mind Management" by Dennis Deaton.

After I read this book, I gave it to the head of our department. He wants to meet to discuss using it in our department. Sorry I don't have time to write more.
Thank you, book! September 6, 2008

It's a very healthy, specific, adequate and thorough work.
My psychological training has been more towards analysis, geshtalt and other therapeutic branches, but books like this one make me think more into cognitive-behavioral way, and for good. They make a lot of sence for sane individuals who are eager to work in order to improve their quality of life.
And it IS easy to follow.
A Hard Look at Ourselves...Needed !!!!! August 17, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
It's been a thought-provoking and interesting book so far. It asks a lot of questions of me that dig pretty deep into my thoughts and feelings - and motivations.
Am I trustworthy? Do I have true, real honesty? Can I be relied upon? Do I surround myself with others who are trustworthy? Am I working on my ethics and honesty to be a better and happier person?
Lots of things about ourselves totally hinge on trust. I had never looked at it from these points of view before. It's an interesting subject and one that I hope will help me get more out of life.
I spend lot of time thinking about integrity and I don't think I do enough work to improve it in myself.
Perhaps now is as good a time to do so as ever!
