info_outlineYou have probably heard of the “command and control” style of leadership. Stephen M.R. Covey joins Kevin to discuss the alternative – “trust and inspire”. Stephen says we underestimate the importance of trust by at least a factor of 10 if not 100 and highlights the high cost of low trust. Covey outlines five mindset shifts that form a more accurate and complete leadership paradigm (people have greatness in them, people are whole people, there is enough for everyone, leadership is stewardship, and influence is created from the inside out). He also touches on the evolving nature of work and the multitude of choices available to individuals.
