A very easy to read book for businesses of all sizes. The Speed of Trust challenges our age-old assumptions that trust is merely a soft, social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged, economic driver – a learnable and measurable skill that makes organizations more profitable, people more promotable, and relationships more energizing.

He gives many great examples that demonstrate the power of trust. He shows a clear correlation between speed and cost. With trust, speed rises and cost decline.

I`d argue that trust is an asset, not a skill. Under that proposition, a company would invest in trust just as they`d invest in R&D, labor, or equipment. :-)
