Reacties op de "Speed of Trust" van Stephen M.R.Covey

"Technique and technology are important, but adding trust is the issue of the decade."
Tom Peters

"Covey brilliantly focuses on that overlooked bedrock of democratic capitalism -- trust. Like the air we breathe, we too often take this critical intangible for granted. As Covey makes clear, we do so at our ultimate competitive peril."
Steve Forbes
President & CEO, Forbes

"The Speed of Trust can change lives when it comes to building trusting personal and professional relationships. Covey helps us understand how to nurture and inspire immediate trust in every encounter, which is the foundation for true and lasting success in life. A very interesting and enlightening read."
Larry King

"When I received this book and was asked to read it and offer my comments, my first impulse was, ‘I don't have the time'. However, as I read the foreword, then the first few chapters, I could not put it down. It is exactly what business leaders need today. This book gets to the core roots of ethical behavior and integrity and how ‘trust' is the most critical factor in effective leaders and organizations. The author discusses with clarity and insight now to develop trust through character and competence and how ‘trusted' leaders and organizations do things better, faster, and at lower costs. Everyone should make the time to read this book."

"The Speed of Trust is a great find. It superbly achieves the goal of providing a road map to peak performance, both for individuals and organizations. But the true genius of the book is its universal relevance, as it combines a highly effective common-sense approach with frank guidance to enhance all relationships in life."

"I am happier when I am trusted, and I bet you are too. Covey has done a masterful job teaching that trust is conditioned on our behavior and that we can consciously shift our behavior to deserve trust. This one realization can change your life. This is the best book by a Covey since 7 Habits."
Richard Carlson, Ph.D
Author of Don't Sweat the Small Stuff and Don't Get Scrooged

"In a 'flatter' world, trust is the 'secret sauce' that significantly enhances learning, relationships, and results. Covey's breakthrough insight that trust is a competency is both revolutionary and immediately practical. CEOs and Chief Learning Officers will embrace The Speed of Trust as an authentic and actionable strategy-a roadmap-for increasing the effectiveness of their organizations and leaders."
Elliott Masie
CEO
The Learning CONSORTIUM

"Covey convincingly makes his case that trust is the one thing that changes everything. He shows that speed is the currency of success and trust is the source. In an era when so many of our leaders have shown themselves to be strangers to the power of trust, this book is a must read."
Marcus Buckingham
Coauthor of Now, Discover Your Strengths

"The Speed of Trust clearly identifies trust as the source of speed in our direct relationships. Covey convincingly validates our experience at Dell-that trust has a bottom-line impact on results and that when trust goes up, speed goes up while costs come down. This principle applies not only in our professional relationships with customers, business partners, and team members but also in our personal relationships, which makes this insightful book all the more valuable."
Kevin Rollins
President and CEO
Dell

"Stephen Covey's work changed the world. I'd bet the price of this exciting book and more that his son, Stephen M.R. Covey, will have at least as much impact. The Speed of Trust is an amazing book starting with its novel and powerful title--my greatest wonder was why it hadn't been written before. From the epigraph--'Speed happens when people truly trust each other'--to the closing bell, this is a book worth savoring--and implementing."
Tom Peters

Coauthor of In Search of Excellence

"The Speed of Trust is a must read for not only business leaders but every individual. Mr. Covey defines trust in a most accurate fashion. One can benefit immensely from its contents."
