When it comes to a legacy-filled family tree, it’s hard to think of a stronger example than the one the Covey family continues to grow.
My guest on the show today, Stephen M. R. Covey, brings to his writings the perspective of a practitioner, as he is the former President & CEO of the Covey Leadership Center, where he increased shareholder value by 67 times and grew the company to become the largest leadership development firm in the world!
What a treat it is to welcome him back for another visit.
After appearing here last year to talk about the 30th Anniversary Edition of his dad’s famous book (linked below), Stephen is here this time to talk about his own New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestseller The Speed of Trust.
It’s a book that, over the last 15 years since it was first published, has sold over 2 million copies worldwide and has been translated into 22 languages!
I predict Stephen will also soon be well known for being one of the first to endorse my soon-to-be-released book. 😉
But seriously, there are few things more important than trust when it comes to cultivating personal and professional success.
