The Speed of Trust
Identify five to ten most important ideas from the book and explanation of why they are important.
One of the most important ideas is “The 4 cores of Credibility”. It talks about the different cores such as integrity, intent, capabilities and results. Integrity and intent are character cores, and capabilities and results are competency cores. The first core is Integrity. Stephen Covey, the author, talks about how integrity is more than just honesty. It has three parts to it, which are congruency, humility, and courage. Congruency is when a person acts like his or her values. There will be no difference in what he or she was intending to and what actually happens. The second one is humility, where people lookout for the positive in other people, but also don’t forget about themselves. A humble person is not a weak person, it means that the person is recognizing others and putting them ahead of him or herself. Courage means that people should do the right thing even if it is difficult. When you do not think about the outcome, you just go with what you feel is most appropriate. The second core talks about intent. There are three important parts, motive, agenda, and behavior. It is important to build trust with people you care about. If a person does not care about other people, then they should let the person know. It is important to not only care about other people, but also to help others win. It cannot only help you but also the other person. Depending on the behavior of a person, it will change the relationships. If you love a person, you need to show with a specific behavior why you are in love with the person. The third core is capabilities. Covey talks about capabilities being talents, skills, knowledge, capacities, and the ability to perform with excellence.
