Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The majority of people we’ve interviewed say that between 60 and 80 percent of their work is project based. But when we ask if they are project managers, virtually all say no. They are anything but project managers. #2 If you spend a large portion of your day working on projects, you are also an unofficial project manager. And you’re not alone. A lot of us have quietly slipped into that role, and we’re fighting project failure every day as we try to push through to a deadline. #3 The first step in becoming a better project manager is to pick up a book on project management. The books available on the market are written from the point of view of a formal, official project manager, while this book focuses on the people on your team and how to lead them. #4 Projects fail for many of the same reasons that people fail projects: a lack of commitment and support from management, unrealistic timelines, too many competing priorities, unclear outcomes and expectations, and so on.

Bestselling author Stephen Covey has made it his mission to understand trust in organizations. In his new breakthrough leadership book Trust and Inspire, Covey shows that though our world has evolved, our style of leadership still has not—but it’s time to change that. Traditionally, businesses have relied on a “command and control” management style, focusing on rigid hierarchies and compliance from employees. Covey argues we must shift from a “command and control” to a “trust and inspire” leadership model. Trusting and inspiring your team is defined by commitment from both sides, with a focus on effectiveness and fostering a growth mindset. It is based on the belief that employees are creative, collaborative, and full of potential; through trust, you can inspire them to do their best work. Trust and Inspire is a simple yet radical shift in how business must be done in the 21st century and an expansive, visionary, and inviting guide to the future of leadership.
