Review : From the bestselling author of The Speed of Trust , a revolutionary new way to lead, deemed “the defining leadership book in the 21st century†(Admiral William McRaven, author of Make Your Bed ) that “every parent, teacher, and leader needs†(Esther Wojcicki, author of How to Raise Successful People ). We have a leadership crisis today, where even though our world has changed drastically, our leadership style has not. Most organizations, teams, schools, and families today still operate from a model of “command and control,†focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, this way of leading is drastically outdated. Stephen M.R. Covey has made it his life’s work to understand trust in leadership and organizations. In his newest and most transformative book, Trust and Inspire , he offers a simple yet bold solution: to shift from this “command and control†model to a leadership style of “trust and inspire.†People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led. Trust and Inspire is a new way of leading that starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential. People with this kind of leader are inspired to become the best version of themselves and to produce their best work. In this “beautifully written page-turner†(Amy Edmondson, Harvard Business School professor), Covey offers the solution to the future of work: where a dispersed workforce will be the norm, necessitating trust and collaboration across time zones, cultures, personalities, generations, and technology. Trust and Inspire calls for a radical shift in the way we lead in the 21st century, and Covey shows us how. Read more
Review : *Spoiler Alert* - You may want to put your highlighter away for this reading book journey. Trust and Inspire has so many pearls of wisdom for leadership at work, at home, in your community and in your life as a whole with every turn of the page that you would have to highlight everything! This week I completed reading Trust & and Inspire from cover to cover. I was so excited to receive this much anticipated copy and I must say it was worth the wait. The care, authenticity and concern poured throughout each page in this book not only for leaders within companies and organizations, but for the betterment of our global society as a whole is remarkable. Breaking from the mold (dare I say default leadership mantra) of Command & Control culture of leadership to the Trust and Inspire model of leadership at the company and individual level is not a trivial undertaking. Stephen M.R. Covey and his team tackle the most daunting aspects of achieving success in this model by outlining what it means to be a leadership steward - modeling, trusting and inspiring. Many books have been written on the traits of a great leader or the emotional intelligence required to become an awesome leader, but very few have been so eloquently written which provides the level of powerful real life storytelling and business outcomes from across industries which we can all relate to. As Mr. Covey shared his lived experiences and lessons learned from his parents, as well as how that profoundly impacted his approach with his children, I found myself fully engaged with each chapter. For me personally, Trust and Inspire has re-grounded my belief that knowing who you are, having a set of core values which guides your leadership and impact on people, while focusing on the greater good of society is what the world needs to remember right now. The book's foundational theme of trust and inspiration, the relevant quotes from recognized leaders from around the world, coupled with the contrast/comparison tables between the Command & Control style vs. the Trust & Inspire model interspersed throughout the book, really allows for clear roadmap of how to improve the way in which you can transform your leadership with purpose. Remember that to become a Trust & Inspire Leader it always starts with you. I will share this small excerpt from Trust and Inspire with you (hopefully I don't get in trouble here): "To serve others and care for their well-being -- even if doing so doesn't appear to benefit us in any way -- is perhaps the highest form of humanity. Interestingly it also happens to produce better outcomes. Leadership is stewardship, and leaders are stewards." Regardless of your industry, your job function or your current situation, I highly recommend Trust & Inspire as one of those books that will have a profound impact on your life, the life of your family, your friends and your colleagues, if you embrace and apply the wisdom which this book imparts. Happy reading!
