Stephen M. R. Covey is a New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal
bestselling author of The SPEED of Trust—The One Thing That Changes
Everything. He is the former CEO of Covey Leadership Center, which,

enabling leaders and organizations to increase and leverage trust to
achieve superior performance.

Global Speed of Trust Practice, where Stephen serves as Global Practice
Leader.
