Episode 112: the speed of trust - the 4 core elements of trust

the speed of trust - the 4 core elements of trust- Episode 112

“Trust is the highest form of human motivation” In this episode I am going to discuss the topic of Trust. I found this book written by Stephen M.R. Covey, (Stephen R. Covey’s son) titled The Speed of Trust. I first go over 9 myths that Stephen M.R. Covey mentions in the book and how the book shows us the real truths about trust. I use the first half of the book to then talk about the 4 core elements of trust. You can think of it like a Tree - roots, trunk, branches and fruit which are compared to integrity, intent, capabilities and results. Trust is so important and it’s been fun to think about it in a little different way.

Show Notes: Hi Friends! I hope you enjoyed listening to this episode. Below are all the references.

Things I learned this week: I really enjoyed learning trust in a little different way and being more away of things I can do to improve on all the 4 core elements. So first I wanted to make sure to list the book The Speed of Trust by Stephen M.R. Covey and will have a link to it below.

Then here is the list of the myths that I mentioned:

The 9 myths of Trust:

Myth: Trust is soft - Truth: Trust is hard, real and quantifiable. It measurably affects both speed and cost

Myth: Trust is slow - Truth: Nothing is as fast as the speed of trust

Myth: Trust is built on integrity - Truth: Trust is a function of both character (which includes integrity) and competence.

Myth: You either have it or you don’t - Truth: Trust can be both created or destroyed

Myth: Once lost, trust cannot be restored - Truth: Though difficult, in most cases, lost trust can be restored

Myth: You can’t teach trust - Truth: Trust can be effectively taught and learned, and it can become a leverage-able, strategic advantage.

Myth: Trusting people is too risky - Truth: Not trusting people is a greater risk

Myth: Trust can only be built face to face - Truth: Trust can be build on virtual teams and in digital environments

Myth: Trust is established one person at a time - Trust: Establishing trust with one establishes trust with the many.

Then remember the idea of a tree and the 4 core elements of trust:

Roots = Integrity - core 1

Trunk = intent - core 2

Branches = capabilities - core 3

Fruit = results - core 4

Honesty: You better believe it! Here is the message from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints about the individual in medical school showing courage to tell his classmates not to cheat.
