FranklinCovey Launches Next Generation Courses, Leading at the Speed of Trust and Working at the Speed of Trust, to Meet the Challenges Organizations Are Facing Today

FranklinCovey (NYSE: FC), one of the largest and most trusted leadership companies in the world, announced today the launch of two next generation courses, Leading at the Speed of Trust and Working at the Speed of Trust, to meet the significant challenges organizations, teams and individual contributors are facing today. The timely and relevant new courses provide leaders and individual contributors respectively with the mindset, skillset, and behaviors to build high-trust teams and organizational cultures that continuously deliver breakthrough results.

As low-trust issues are rampant, and with people working virtually all over the world, the need for “trust networks” has become a baseline requirement to ensure a thriving organization. Such driving forces include: remote or hybrid employees who don’t feel trusted by their leader, so they disengage; low or no trust between team members in remote or hybrid environments; lack of communication and collaboration within intact or cross-functional teams; lack of psychological safety within the team; lack of meaningful collaboration, decision-making and innovation; lack of effective change management; silos; and mergers, acquisitions, reorganizations, layoffs – also known as “potential job threatening strategies.”

Nearly every issue that organizations struggle with today is trust related. Both courses have been updated to provide solutions to these and other complex issues. With a more contemporary look and feel, they’re delivered over the robust FranklinCovey Impact Platform, making the skills of creating trust even more accessible, actionable, measurable, and lasting.

“Everything leaders and individual contributors say and do affects the level of trust in their team. When trust is low, people become suspicious, guard communication, speculate, and disengage. Productivity grinds to a crawl, and costs increase. These are trust taxes. When trust is high, people become confident, and communication, creativity, and engagement improve. Productivity speeds up and costs decrease. These are trust dividends. As today’s global currency, trust is a tangible and measurable performance multiplier that continuously pays over and over again. It’s the one thing that changes everything,” said Stephen M. R. Covey, Founder, FranklinCovey Global Trust Practice, author of the mega-bestsellers, The Speed of Trust: The One Thing That Changes Everything and Trust & Inspire: How Truly Great Leaders Unleash Greatness in Others, and the course content expert on the Leading at the Speed of Trust and Working at the Speed of Trust courses.
