Details Condition: BRAND NEW Format: Paperback ISBN: 9781471195938 Publisher: Simon & Schuster UK Overview Trust & Inspire is a compelling leadership book from bestselling author Stephen M. R. Covey, challenging the outdated "command and control" management style that still dominates modern workplaces. Covey argues leaders must evolve towards a "trust and inspire" approach, built on mutual commitment, creativity, and collaboration. Ideal for managers, entrepreneurs, and anyone leading a team, this paperback offers a practical, research-backed roadmap to transforming workplace culture and unlocking genuine human potential. About the Book In Trust & Inspire, Stephen M. R. Covey draws on decades of research into trust within organisations to expose the shortcomings of traditional leadership models. He argues that the old "command and control" style, rooted in rigid hierarchy and compliance, no longer fits a world that has fundamentally changed. Instead, Covey proposes a "trust and inspire" model of leadership, grounded in the belief that people are inherently creative, collaborative, and full of untapped potential. Rather than managing employees through fear or rigid oversight, leaders are encouraged to build relationships based on mutual trust and shared purpose. This shift requires commitment from both leader and team member, with strong emphasis on effectiveness, empowerment, and cultivating a growth mindset throughout the organisation. Covey uses real-world examples, practical frameworks, and candid reflection to show how trust and inspiration can replace fear and control as the foundation of great leadership. The book helps readers diagnose their own leadership habits and gradually replace outdated patterns with more modern, human-centred practices.
