Franklin Covey's Working at the Speed of Trust

December 16, 10AM - 3:30PM thru December 17, 10AM - 12PM
Free for All Access Pass Subscribers

For individual contributors. When trust is low, people become suspicious,
guard communication, speculate, and disengage. As a result, productivity
grinds to a crawl, and the costs—whether social, emotional, or
financial—increase. We call these trust taxes. When trust is high, people
become confident and communication, creativity, and engagement improve. As
a result, productivity speeds up and costs decrease. We call these trust
dividends. Working at the Speed of Trust® helps you strengthen your trust
signals in every relationship to convert trust taxes into trust dividends
and propel yourself and your team further, faster.
