What are we reading? Trust and Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others.
- by Stephen M.R. Covey
Covey begins the book with a simple yet powerful point: while our world continues to change at a rapid pace, our approaches to management and leadership aren't keeping up. Twenty years ago, companies couldn't connect with employees through video conferencing, nor could students instantly access courses from universities worldwide. Yet when we examine our policies and procedures today, they largely mirror those from decades past. Our world has changed—so must our leadership style!
In times of change, uncertainty, and crisis, leaders tend to fall back on a closed leadership style focused on directives and policy. Instead, when facing these difficult situations, focus on extending trust to others and supporting their success rather than simply telling them what to do.
Action Step
