Speed of Trust™ Workshop:

"Remember, when you were made a leader, you weren't given a crown, you were given a responsibility to bring out the best in others. For that, your people need to trust you." -- Jack Welch, former CEO, General Electric

Building a reputation of trust in our daily lives is more important then ever in this era of constant change. The need for quickness and seamless integration, bottom-line "speed" in our organizations, has its affect on our productivity, success and global influence. If we are not careful, there are very real repercussions (both personal and professional) that the lack of trust will bring.

In our work with organizations, we ask our clients to describe a low-trust, low-performance organization. They typically say they see cultural behaviors like the following:

• People manipulate or distort facts
• People withhold and hoard information
• People spin the truth to their advantage
• Getting the credit is very important
• New ideas are openly resisted and stifled
• Mistakes are covered up or covered over
• Most people are involved in a blame game, badmouthing others
• There is an abundance of "water cooler" talk
• There are numerous "meetings after the meetings"
• There are many "undiscussables"
• People tend to over-promise and under-deliver
• There are a lot of violated expectations for which people make many excuses
• People pretend bad things aren’t happening or are in denial
• The energy level is low
• People often feel unproductive tension—sometimes even fear

How can you overcome this tremendous friction in your organization?

The purpose of the Speed of Trust workshop is to enable you, as a leader, to get results in a way that inspires trust.

Speed of Trust ™:

The Speed of Trust challenges the age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver—a learnable and measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing.

* Trust is a powerful accelerator to performance and when trust goes up, speed also goes up while cost comes down.

Leading at the SPEED of TRUST™ is a customized organizational workshop that teaches participants pragmatic, practical, and actionable skills which they can implement immediately regardless of their role in the organization. Using the learnings from the SPEED of TRUST® Audit, this highly interactive workshop engages leaders at all levels in the real work of identifying and closing the trust gaps that exist in many organizations. Instead of continuing to pay an outrageous trust tax™, they can begin to realize the great benefits of a trust dividend™ both personally and organizationally.

Leading at the SPEED of TRUST™ teaches participants the career-critical leadership skills necessary to lower costs and increase profits and influence for their organization.

This fast-paced, interactive course was developed by Stephen M. R. Covey and Windridge Consulting is pleased to be trained and certified to bring you this fine program.
