    “Trust has never been lower than it is today”. This is a statement by Covey from his bestselling book, The Speed of Trust, and he goes on to explain that trust has virtually disappeared from business, politics and even our personal lives. Yet trusting others is an integral aspect of any career or relationship and it can bring wonderful rewards for everybody. The Speed of Trust discusses why we struggle to trust others and what we can do to rebuild those bonds. Covey is an American writer and public speaker, and co-founded CoveyLink Worldwide, which provides consulting and training for organisations across the United States. 

    This book review and analysis is perfect for: 
    •Anyone who wants to trust others but are not sure where to begin

      A valuable factor of performance

      In 1997, Stephen M. R. Covey became the head of the Covey Leadership Center, the company founded by his father, and led a merger with the Franklin Quest cabinet. He says:

      The manager defines this event as the most formative he has experienced in terms of increasing his trust. Indeed, even though the time was characterised by a devastating crisis of trust at all levels of society, both in the public and private spheres, the world specialist in leadership intends to demonstrate that trust is the development factor of performance that organisations and individuals cannot live without.
