The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything by Stephen M. R. Covey, Rebecca R. Merrill
meshsock's review against another edition

I liked the idea about how to improve trust, particularly in your own self-trust, however, it felt dated. Maybe it's because it's very much a "business" book written by a white man who is trusted by default and many of the examples were other white men high on the corporate ladder. In that way, I had a hard time relating to him and his experiences.

Like most business books, it is chock full of name-dropping anecdotes from a privileged white man.
BUT if you take all those away, it would be a really snappy read with digestible nuggets of advice. I've never tried blinkist , but this seems like the perfect candidate for it.
My biggest takeaways are that I should continue to strive for better, be transparent and candid, and follow through on my commitments. Areas I need to do the most work on are "Listen first" and "show respect."

I'm not sorry I read it. I think it could have been about 1/3 shorter. Just say what you have to say. I bought the book. (Just kidding, I got it from the library.) you don't have to keep selling it. After 2/3 I started skimming because the book was basically over, but there were more pages.

Repetitive but provided an interesting perspective to what makes up trust. I feel like a lot of the buss words/topics were brainstormed to hit "13 behaviors", "10 reasons why trust is important", etc. and watered down the content, but there were some solid nuggets of knowledge/ideas in there.

Read this one for a professional development book study. It's a little too corporate for my liking. The other Covey books I've read for professional development were needlessly long and repetitive, and this one is no different. Still, it did spark good introspection while reading the first half of the book.
