Covey’s Speed of Trust 5: See, Speak, & Behave

Covery relationship trustThis continues our series reviewing Stephen M. R. Covey’s book The Speed f Trust

Covey writes “The purpose of this book to enable you to see, speak and behave in ways that establish trust, and all three dimensions are vital. You’ll be able to see a trust in an entirely different way…It will also give you a language to speak about trust…Finally, this book will help you develop the behaviors that establish and grow trust.”

How This Book Will Help

The Speed of Trust will give you:

  • “Trust glasses” so that you see trust differently and open your eyes to a new world of trust
  • A new language to speak about trust, to describe your underlying issues involved, and it will give you the language to describe those issues
  • Behaviors that establish and grow trust—especially the 13 behaviors of high-trust leaders. Learning these behaviors helps you recognize the impact when people practice—or don’t practice them

Shift Your Paradigms

Covey highlights how we can shift how see, what we speak, and how we behave. For example, when we serve someone we begin to see them differently than we did before. Because we see them differently, we behave differently around that person and towards others. Our behavior shift ultimately leads to a shift in how see the world.

Changing the language we use can also shift how we behave or see the world. Dean Curtis taught this principle with a formula Event + Language = Motivation. He showed how changing the language people used to describe events in their life changed their motivation.

Interdependence of See, Speak, & Behave

Covey continues “Clearly, these three dimensions are interdependent, and whenever you effect a change in one dimension, you effect a change in all three. For this reason, this book will focus on see, speak, and behave so that you will have not only the paradigms, but also the language and the behaviors need to establish trust and grow.”
