FranklinCovey’s "Leading at
the Speed of Trust®"
This is a two-day workshop that raises
trust from an often-ignored asset or
liability to a strategic advantage in
the marketplace. Doing business at the
“Speed of Trust” dramatically lowers
costs, speeds up results, and increases
profits and influence. This highly
interactive workshop engages leaders at
all levels in the real work of
identifying and closing the trust gaps
that exist in organization. Instead of
paying outrageous Trust Taxes,
participants can begin to realize Trust
Dividends.
This workshop is based on the
best-selling book The Speed of Trust by
Stephen M.R. Covey, which draws from his
years of hands-on experience and
research into the trust factor in
business and society. In his book, he
describes “the high cost of low trust”
in terms of taxes. When trust is low in
an organization, processes bog down,
communication becomes guarded, decisions
are put on hold while facts are checked
and rechecked, and attention becomes
focused on hidden agendas rather than
key objectives. Every consequence of low
trust exerts a toll on an organization’s
ability to succeed. Opportunities go by
the wayside as clarity becomes clouded.
Results become diluted and
unpredictable, and those that are
achieved come slowly – at a high cost.
Participants learn from activities and
real case studies based in their current
work – not theoretical models or
hypothetical cases. Leaders measurably
increase the speed and scale of results
by improving trust with their key
stakeholders, including their reports,
their leaders, and both external and
internal customers.
The 7 Habits workshop is part of a
student’s co-curricular programming for
