Trust and Inspire

By: Stephen M.R. Covey

Narrated by: Stephen M. R. Covey

From the bestselling author of The Speed of Trust, a revolutionary new way to lead, deemed “the defining leadership book in the 21st century” (Admiral William McRaven, author of Make Your Bed) that “every parent, teacher, and leader needs” (Esther Wojcicki, author of How to Raise Successful People).

We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “command and control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, this way of leading is drastically outdated.

Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life’s work to understand trust in leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative book, Trust and Inspire, he offers a simple yet bold solution: to shift from this “command and control” model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.” People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential. People with this kind of leader are inspired to become the best version of themselves and to produce their best work. In this “beautifully written page-turner” (Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School professor), Covey offers the solution to the future of work: where a dispersed workforce will be the norm, necessitating trust and collaboration across time zones, cultures, personalities, generations, and technology.

Trust and Inspire calls for a radical shift in the way we lead in the 21st century, and Covey shows us how.

Excellent book

This book starts slow (frankly not interesting) but then gets into the details of how to become an trusting and inspiring leader. Very thought provoking. The best leadership book that I have seen in recent years.

Great Trust Principles

This book has so many principles for everyone. It encourages you to be your best so that you can equip others to be the best that they can be.

Life changing concepts!

I began reading this thinking it was another book by Stephen R Covey. To my surprise it was his son. Overwhelming the deeper truths he revealed in two basic principles of trust and inspire! I’ve been renewed and inspired to begin again at 70 to give more of myself to others. Thank you Sir for continuing the legacy!
