Recommendation

Stephen M.R. Covey offers an alternative to command-and-control leadership: Trust & Inspire. Covey explains how this approach aligns with modern sensitivities and fulfills the pressing need for effective corporate management. He teaches leaders to become stewards of their workforce by offering a model of morality and virtue to build trust and provide inspiration. Covey calls on leaders to demonstrate imperative workplace virtues – humility, courage, authenticity, vulnerability and empathy – to create and maintain an abiding sense of mission, purpose and endurance.

Take-Aways

  • Traditional command-and-control leadership treats people like fleas in a jar.
  • “Trust & Inspire” leadership respects and empowers people. 
  • Trusted, inspirational leaders are responsible stewards.
