Stephen M.R. Covey returns with transformative insights on leadership and trust in the modern world. Exploring the shift from traditional command-and-control approaches to a trust-and-inspire philosophy, Covey delves into how these principles are not just about business efficiency, but also about fostering meaningful work and inspiring both teams and consumers in a world brimming with choices.SHOWNOTESThe Outdated Command-and-Control Model: Stephen explains that the old way of leading through command and control is becoming obsolete in a knowledge-worker economy characterized by service and collaboration.The Rise of Trust-and-Inspire Leadership: The discussion centers on the necessity for leaders to evolve and adopt a trust-and-inspire approach that is more suitable for today's interconnected and choice-rich world.The Distinction Between Leading and Managing: Stephen emphasizes the importance of managing systems and leading people. When people are treated as things, it diminishes their potential and desire to be part of the organization.Inspiration as a Learnable Skill: Contrary to the belief that inspiration is an innate trait, Stephen explains that it is a skill that can be cultivated through empathy, belonging, and connection to a shared purpose.Consumer Relationships in the Trust Economy: The conversation turns to how trust-and-inspire principles apply not only internally within organizations but also externally in customer relationships, advocating for a pull strategy over a push strategy.The Imperative of Winning in the Workplace First: Stephen stresses the importance of creating a high-trust culture internally to foster collaboration and innovation before translating these successes to the marketplace.Global Reach and Resources: Stephen mentions the availability of his work "Speed of Trust" in Japan and the various resources and workshops offered by the Franklin Covey Japan team.LINKS AND RESOURCESInterested in Stephen's Work?

In our ever-changing business landscape, professional development is going through its own kind of transformation. To keep up with rapid-fire changes brought on largely by digital evolution, companies across industries are coming up with new, innovative ways to help their employees develop fresh skills and competencies. Today’s guest, Stephen Waddington, is a partner and the Chief Engagement Officer at Ketchum. He works with clients, he helps with business development and marketing, and he is responsible for driving the integration and innovation of digital and social capabilities throughout the Ketchum network across 90 offices. Ketchum encourages professional development through their own online platform. In this episode, Stephen shares how and why the Ketchum model works and explains the necessity for continuous learning among professionals through both formal and informal online training. In This Episode The learning potential in modern social environments Why email and static websites aren’t dying—but they should be How professional development is becoming borderless The challenges an organization faces with collaborative training When learning about tech needs to start and why Quotes in This Episode “People are using platforms like Facebook day in and day out in their lives. They're using it across the web, but increasingly on mobile platform so, it isn't much of all lift then to introduce a technology like Workplace and say, ‘Okay, everything you can do on the public version of Facebook, you can now do privately in the work environment.’” —Stephen Waddington “That’s the first thing you should do. Find [people you want to work with] on Twitter, and just listen to the conversations they’re having.” —Stephen Waddington “[Teaching privacy and social media etiquette] has got to start the moment we give technology to children… Children need to be taught the basic good behaviors of communicating.” —Stephen Waddington “If you want to be treated like a professional, you need to take continuous professional development seriously.” —Stephen Waddington “You should find your own personal purpose and find work—do something that excites you—because you spend a lot of time at work. When you do that, you will do your absolute best.” —Stephen Waddington Resources Stephen’s blog Contact Stephen Connect with Stephen on Twitter
