Stephen M. R. Covey Libros

From the bestselling author of Speed of Trust and Smart Trust, a revolutionary new way to lead.

In this powerful audio book, Stephen M.R. Covey articulates why trust has become the key leadership competency of the new global economy. Covey convincingly makes the case that trust is a measurable accelerator to performance and that when trust goes up, speed also goes up while cost comes down, producing what Covey calls a "trust dividend." Covey reveals the 13 Behaviors common to high-trust leaders throughout the world and demonstrates actionable insights that will enable you to shift your behavior to increase trust in all your relationships. Like a ripple in the pond, The Speed of Trust begins within each of us personally, continues into our relationships, expands into our organizations, and ultimately encompasses our global society.
