Comments on: “The Speed of Trust” by Stephen Covey http://www.nscblog.com/recommended-reading/the-speed-of-trust-by-stephen-covey/ A Blog on Personal Leadership by the Founder of The Collier Companies Mon, 06 Feb 2012 15:56:43 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Rob Myers http://www.nscblog.com/recommended-reading/the-speed-of-trust-by-stephen-covey/comment-page-1/#comment-2329 Rob Myers Mon, 09 Jun 2008 14:58:42 +0000 http://www.nscblog.com/?p=342#comment-2329 I immediately thought of our busy turn period. Over the last few years I've been able to develop and earn a huge amount of trust from my vendors. Likewise, I trust them implicitly and this enables us to achieve much in a very short period of time. I still inspect for what I expect, but I respect their expertise and treat them as equals- after all, aren't we just two free people choosing to engage in a voluntary exchange of value? They are equal! A little REAL trust goes a long ways. A little respect goes a LONG ways. The loyalty it buys is priceless and it costs nothing! I immediately thought of our busy turn period.
