“One of the fastest ways to restore trust is to make and keep commitments – even very small commitments – to ourselves and to others.” ~ Stephen M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust
Trust Quotes
“Would you not agree that relationships are built on trust? Would you not also agree that most individuals think more in terms of “me” – my wants, my needs, my rights? What would wisdom dictate – would it not direct us to focus on trust-building principles and sacrificing ‘me’ for ‘we’?” ~ Stephen Covey, The 8th Habit
The Speed of Trust [Book]
Book Overview: From Stephen R. Covey’s eldest son comes a revolutionary new path towards productivity and satisfaction. Trust, says Stephen M.R. Covey, is the very basis of the new global economy, and he shows how trust and the speed at which it is established with clients, employees and constituents is the essential ingredient for any high performance, successful organization. For business leaders and public figures in any arena, The Speed of Trust offers an unprecedented and eminently practical look at exactly how trust functions in our every transaction and relationship from the most personal to the broadest, most indirect interaction and how to establish trust immediately so that you and your organization can forego the time killing, bureaucratic check -and- balance processes so often deployed in lieu of actual trust.

“Life to me is the greatest of all games. The danger lies in treating it as a trivial game, a game to be taken lightly, and a game in which the rules don’t matter much. The rules matter a great deal. The game has to be played fairly or it is no game at all. And even to win the game is not the chief end. The chief end is to win it honorably and splendidly.” ~ Sir Ernest Shackleton
“People are much more likely to trust a leader if they know he is compassionate and forgiving of mistakes.” ~ Donald T. Phillips, Lincoln on Leadership
“The value we create is directly related to how much valuable information we can produce, how much trust we can earn, and how often we innovate.” ~ Seth Godin, The Icarus Deception
“You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.” ~ Steve Jobs
