The speed of trust

Stephen M.R. Covey

Summary

Trust is often seen as a soft, intangible aspect of relationships and business, yet Stephen M.R. Covey’s The Speed of Trust reveals it as a critical, measurable, and strategic asset that significantly influences organizational success and personal effectiveness. Covey argues that trust directly impacts speed and cost in every interaction and transaction, transforming it from a mere social virtue into a powerful economic driver. This book unpacks the mechanics of trust, providing a clear framework for building and sustaining it to improve leadership, teamwork, and overall performance.
