It’s time to share some inspiration!
Here's How...
Each quarter we will post a book title and discussion questions on our web site.
Read the book (or listen to audio, or find the cliff notes, or don't read at all!).
Then join us on the phone for our quarterly book club discussion.
We will share our ideas about the book, and (most importantly) discuss ways to apply the concepts. You will learn from colleagues, share ideas and get inspired as a leader.
The Book...
This quarter, we will read “The Speed of Trust” by Stephen M. R. Covery
((Available at Amazon.com and other outlets)).
Description...
This is a great read! In the book, Covey shows us how TRUST is inexorably linked to the speed of doing business, and thus the cost. When things move slowly due to lack of trust, it is literally as if you are paying a tax for the lack of trust. Conversely, when trust is high, business moves faster and more reliably, and you will reap dividends.
It amazed me while reading this book, how often we look for solutions to problems while NOT considering the degree of trust in a relationship or organization. Covey defines leadership as “doing things in a way that inspires trust” and he shows us that credibility is made up of four key components- Integrity, Intent, Capabilities and Results.
Further, the book covers 13 behaviors that you can cultivate that will help you build trust in relationships. The last part of the book makes the link from organizational trust, out to market trust and societal trust. This is a book that has something for everyone!
