“A Powerful Global Renaissance of Trust has begun.” - Stephen Covey
If you look around, we see all kinds of evidence that people are losing trust in our society. You see it in companies where there are scandals and fraud, and closer to home in our own personal relationships. However, there is also a Renaissance: a rebirth of integrity and ethics. There is a growing awareness that violating the principles that create trust and integrity is not a sustainable way to live, on the individual, family, and society levels. Trust is everything.
Today Raymond will be speaking to Stephen Covey, whose name is synonymous with trust and leadership. He is the former CEO of one of the most famous organizations in the world, Covey Leadership Center, which became the largest leadership development company in the entire world. Under his direction the company grew dramatically, achieving Inc. 5000 status and recognition. He also led the strategy that propelled the book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to the number one best selling business book in the entire 20th Century.
Expert Action Steps:
- Start with yourself: increase your personal credibility.
- Open your agenda and create transparency.
- Always keep commitments to other people and always keep a commitment to yourself.
