Episode Overview:
🔊 In this returning episode of The HR L&D Podcast, host Nick Day welcomes back Stephen M.R. Covey to discuss his powerful new book, Trust and Inspire. Stephen, a Harvard MBA who co-founded and leads FranklinCovey’s global Speed of Trust practice, makes the case that command and control leadership has passed its expiration date, and that the future belongs to leaders who model, trust, and inspire.
Key Topics Discussed in this Episode:
- Why trust is a learnable skill and how leaders can develop it intentionally.
- The two epic imperatives of our time: building a high-trust culture that inspires and collaborating to innovate.
- Why command and control leadership no longer works and what should replace it.
- How to trust your team without losing control using stewardship agreements with clear expectations and accountability.
- Why being trusted is the most inspiring form of human motivation and how it drives performance.
- The reciprocal nature of trust, why low-trust cultures start at the top.
- How to rebuild trust after it has been broken: owning it, writing the wrong, and behaving your way back.
- Why inspiration is the next frontier beyond employee engagement, and the Bain & Company data showing inspired employees are 125% more productive than merely satisfied ones.
- What trust and inspire is NOT: it’s not soft, it’s not abdicate and abandon, it’s hand in hand leadership that is authoritative without being authoritarian.
- The see, communicate, develop, unleash framework for unlocking potential in your people.
