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.The son of the author of the best-selling 7 Habits series explains how trust is a key catalyst for personal and organizational success in the twenty-first century, in a guide for businesspeople that demonstrates how to inspire trust while overcoming bureaucratic obstacles.

Annotation:
In business, as in personal relationships, trust can make the difference between success or failure. Using case studies and exercises, Stephen M. R. Covey shows how we can establish and build trust in business. He draws on the ideas he developed while working at the Covey Leadership Center, which was established by his father, the author of the bestselling 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. One important principle is that trust can be established much more quickly than people think (hence, his title). Covey combines good common sense with new ideas, and his readers will find they can follow him with confidence (which, he says, is another word for trust).
