Stephen Covey

Topic: Speed of Trust
Keynote Speaker: Stephen Covey

“Leading at the SPEED of TRUST” practices significantly lower costs and increase speed, profits, and influence. In this fast-paced and engaging presentation, Stephen M. R. Covey dramatically demonstrates the leadership benefits of TRUST from the informed perspective of a CEO and teaches how to establish and grow a high-trust, high-performance organization.

TRUST, more important than VISION, you ask? Yes! No matter how grand a vision, the high cost of low trust can prevent you from reaching it profitably.

TRUST, more important than STRATEGY? Yes! While high trust can‘t make a poor strategy succeed, the high cost of low trust can derail an otherwise great strategy.

TRUST, more important than SYSTEMS and STRUCTURE? Yes! No degree of re-engineering and quality control can overcome the sabotage and tax of a low trust culture.

TRUST, more important than SKILLS? Yes! No matter how skilled a group, the high cost of low trust can disrupt their potential success. Nothing repels talent like a high control, low trust workplace.

We call it the “SPEED of TRUST®.” Leading at the SPEED of TRUST is both more financially rewarding AND just plain fun and energizing.

KEY LEARNINGS

• Recognize TRUST is measurable and a skill that can be both taught and
  learned
• Improve speed and influence while increasing profitability
• Listen first, keep commitments, and extend smart TRUST
• Amplify the speed, impact, and execution of all strategic imperatives
