Purpose & Principles I S2 E44: Stephen MR Covey -- High Trust in a Low Trust World.

Stephen M. R. Covey is a New York Times and #1 Wall Street
Journal bestselling author of The SPEED of Trust—The One Thing
That Changes Everything. He is the former CEO of Covey Leadership
Center, which, under his stewardship, became the largest
leadership development company in the world. Stephen personally
led the strategy that propelled his father’s book, Dr. Stephen R.
Covey’s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, to become one of
the two most influential business books of the 20th Century,
according to CEO Magazine.


As President and CEO of Covey Leadership Center, Stephen nearly
doubled revenues while increasing profits by 12 times. During
that period, the company expanded throughout the world into over
40 countries, greatly increasing the value of the brand and
enterprise. The company was valued at $2.4 million when Stephen
was named CEO, and, within three years, he had grown shareholder
value to $160 million in a merger he orchestrated with Franklin
Quest to form FranklinCovey.


Stephen co-founded CoveyLink, a consulting practice, which
focuses on enabling leaders and organizations to increase and
leverage trust to achieve superior performance.


Stephen recently merged CoveyLink with FranklinCovey, forming the
Global Speed of Trust Practice, where Stephen serves as Global
Practice Leader.
