Trust & Inspire is the solution to the future of work
In his newest and most transformative book, Trust & Inspire, Stephen M. R. Covey makes the compelling argument that 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 & Control,” focusing on hierarchies and compliance from people. But because of the changing nature of the world, the workforce, the work itself, and the choices we have for where and how to work and live, these old rules of leadership no longer apply.

Trust & Inspire is a New Way of Leading
It starts with the belief that people are creative, collaborative, and full of potential.
People with this kind of leadership are inspired to become the best version of themselves and to produce their best work.
People don’t want to be managed; they want to be led.
Testimonials
Leaders operate under license from those they lead and serve, and as such, bear a responsibility to help them succeed. Not just to perform better, but to become better—to perform with purpose. Trust & Inspire is a powerful approach to people and leadership found precisely at the intersection of performance and purpose.

Trust & Inspire is important. It’s the compelling answer to the traditional Command & Control and carrot-and-stick approaches to leading people. No one wants to get caught up in these industrial-age management techniques, yet still today, almost everyone does. Trust & Inspire provides a practical framework and process for bringing out the best in ourselves—and the best in others.

For years, I have told people that my favorite book is The Speed of Trust—after reading Trust & Inspire, I now have to say I have two favorite books.

Many leaders are looking for a style that’s more uplifting and empowering than Command & Control, but few are clear on where to start. This book is brimming with ideas on how to bring out the best in people.
