Trust – #1 Competency Needed By Leaders Today
In a recent presentation I attended by Stephen M. R. Covey, author of Speed of Trust, he shared the three reasons why trust is is the #1 leadership competency needed by leaders today:
1) Trust is the currency of today’s collaborative, global economy much like money fuels the economy. Trust fuels connectedness and is vital to the leaders who are playing in the global markets. Covey shared that 1000 people participating in a global conference were asked to identify the biggest challenge the world faced. The #2 most common challenge identified was the global financial crisis and the #1 challenge the world faced was a crisis of trust and confidence.
