Led to some interesting conversations, could probably be lossless-ly replaced with a 10-page booklet 

In the read for work and could’ve been a brochure club. The author spoke at my organization and I couldn’t understand why, to promote a 19 year old book? Oozing with ego as others have said. 

Building trust in my current job has been a strong goal of mine. The quick read resonated with me

The Speed of Trust

A deep dive into the power of trust in leadership, business, and relationships. Covey argues that trust isn’t just a soft skill—it’s a measurable force that speeds up success and reduces costs. The book is packed with insights, though some examples feel a bit idealized. Still, the core message is solid: trust is built through credibility and consistent behavior.

Favorite Quotes:

“Trust is equal parts character and competence.”
“The moment there is suspicion about a person’s motives, everything they do becomes tainted.”
