Crisis of Trust

In 2006, Covey wrote about the "crisis of trust":

You don't need to look far to realize that, as a global society, we have a crisis of trust on our hands.

--Steven M. R. Covey, The Speed of Trust. The One Thing that Changes Everything. New York: Free Press, 2006, p. 10.

And he wrote that in 2006. Imagine what he would write now.

If there's anything about the past 2 years, trust has washed out of the system. It's why banks wouldn't lend. It's why investors stopped investing. It's why home sales and construction starts slowed to a trickle in most places and in some places stopped altogether. No one trusted anyone else.

If we're get back on track, we have to start trusting again. Ourselves, and others around us.
