Book Reviews of The SPEED of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything
Book Review: Competence is the key
Summary: 4 Stars
I've read many of the books and articles by Stephen Covey and his son and I believe this may get to the core of it all more than the others. I've always believed the Coveys have the wonderful ability to articulate common sense elegantly.Book Review: Excellent - an absolute must read for leaders
Summary: 5 Stars
Buying this book in the faith that it was written by Stephen Covey and learned that it is his son. Anyway, its a great book that can help everybody both in business and family life.Book Review: Interesting examination of trust
Summary: 5 Stars
Stephen M.R. Covey's book provides a framework for understanding trust, and a set of guidelines for building and restoring trust. Abundant anecdotes illustrate its lessons. An impressive array of business leaders, gurus and authorities lent their names to blurbs for this book, most of them endorsing the proposition that trust is good for the bottom line of any business. It would be hard to argue with that. If the book's style reminds you of "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," there's a reason. The author is the son of 7 Habits' guru Stephen R. Covey, and the same writer, Rebecca R. Merrill, was involved in both books. While this solid book may not be quite as intensely focused as 7 Habits (but then, what is?), we recommend it to readers seeking confirmation of perennial truths about the importance of trust and its application in business.
Book Review: Speed of Trust Audio
Summary: 4 Stars
Content is concise and to the point. The speaker has good dynamics but moves a bit too fast to take notes. The CD content seems simple enough so the book seems large compared to the content presented on the CD. I am wondering if the CD left anything out or the book is wordy.
For the content presented on the CD, nicely done.
Book Review: It is High Time That More Leaders Understand These Principles
Summary: 5 Stars
Covey and Merrill done a careful well reasoned job in identifiying the only real basis for success in business, and life. My own observation is that genuine trust is the magic ingredient for bringing out the best of all human interaction. I agree with the authors' suggestion to stop after reading each chapter and go back and address those steps that will make the biggest difference to the reader's own situation. I am confident that application of these concepts can make a huge difference in all business. Lawrence A Haines - author of "In the Best Companies - People Are Everything".
