years we have heard that we need to move away from 'command and
control' leadership. But nobody has named what we should do
instead! That's what Stephen M.R. Covey boldly and brilliantly does
in the words, and the book, Trust & Inspire. Isn't that what we
want? Fifty years from now nobody will speak of command and control
without saying 'trust and inspire'. It's going to become a part of
our language, a part of what management itself means. As a great
leader himself, Stephen will, though this book, unleash the
greatness within you.

leadership found precisely at the intersection of performance and
purpose."
--INDRA NOOYI, former Chairman & CED, PepsiCo "Like the gardener
described in this book, the job of leaders is to create an
environment where the seeds of greatness within people are able to
flourish. Trust & Inspire powerfully demonstrates how to cultivate
this kind of growth in any setting."
--MUHAMMAD YUNUS, 2006 Nobel Peace Price winner, founder of Grameen
Bank "[A] spirited appeal for managers to shift from a 'command and
control' leadership approach to a 'trust and inspire' one....Covey
makes a strong case that 'trust and inspire' leadership helps
retain more employees, fosters their best work, and improves the
company's finances....Readers will appreciate his positive
spin....a solid reminder that if leaders continue prioritizing
'getting results' over building relationships, they'll do
neither."
--Publishers Weekly
