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.

 Excellent Manual on Trust
Covey nails it with this masterpiece. You would expect nothing less from the Covey brand. Basically, trust = character and compentance and this book explains each in detail and the 13 behaviors that will help any person increase trust in any and every environment. Whether you are a business person, pastor, or parent, this book will help.
 Skip This One
I was very, very disappointed in "The Speed of Trust". All Covey did in this book was plagiarize other's previous works. No new ideas. There were many of Tom Peters ideas spread throughout. And Covey drags on and on. This book could have been 1/3 the size. If you have read management/leadership books in the past, this one will not cover any new ground for you. Better to invest your time with authors that offer original ideas in a concise format.
Trustworth service
Amazon provides a very good service and you can have mind at rest after the purchase.
 The Speed of Trust
I've read several books by this guy. He's very intelligent. Pretty wordy. The condensed versions offer just as much - to me. Still, a powerful book if you're into self improvement.
 Great points about Trust, somewhat lacking in reality
The Covey's do a great job of writing books which appear on the surface to be the key to life and everything successful in it. The problem is by taking stories of successful people, ignoring the thousands who did the same thing and failed, the conclusions result in weak statistical validity. But their ideas are important to learn, and offer value to leaders. There are lots of lists for trust development, etc, in this book. I would liken this more to Airport Leadership books, the ones people find in the airport book store and read before a big corporate power meeting. It is always a laugh to hear people quote from these books of the month. Key to this book, take away the importance of trust, but cut through much of the light stories and "data".
