Stephen M.R. Covey Biography
Stephen M. R. Covey is a cofounder of CoveyLink and the
FranklinCovey Speed of Trust Practice. A sought-after and
compelling keynote speaker and advisor on trust, leadership, ethics,
and high performance, he speaks to audiences around the world. He
is the New York Times and #1 Wall Street Journal bestselling author
of The SPEED of Trust, a groundbreaking and paradigm-shifting book
that challenges our age-old assumption that trust is merely a soft,
social virtue and instead demonstrates that trust is a hard-edged,
economic driver.
He and business partner Greg Link also coauthored
Smart Trust: The Defining Skill That Transforms Managers Into Leaders, which shares enlightening principles and anecdotes of people and organizations that are achieving unprecedented success from high-trust relationships and cultures. Stephen advocates that the ability to establish, grow, extend, and restore trust with all stakeholders is the critical leadership competency of the new global economy. He passionately delivers this message and is dedicated to enabling individuals and organizations to reap the dividends of high trust throughout the world. Audiences and organizations alike resonate with his informed, practical approach to real-time issues that affect their immediate and long-term performance.
He is the former CEO of Covey Leadership Center, which, under his
stewardship, became the largest leadership development company in
the world. Covey personally led the strategy that propelled his father's book, Dr. Stephen R. Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People, to one of the two most influential business books of the 20th
Century, according to CEO Magazine. A Harvard MBA, he joined
Covey Leadership Center as a Client Developer and later became
National Sales Manager and then President & CEO.
Under Covey's direction, the company grew rapidly and profitably,
achieving Inc. 500 status. As President & CEO, he nearly doubled
revenues to over $110 million while increasing profits by 12 times.
During that period, both customer and employee trust reached new
highs and the company expanded throughout the world into over 40
countries. This greatly increased the value of the brand and company.
The company was valued at only $2.4 million when Covey was
named CEO, and, within three years, he grew shareholder value to
$160 million in a merger he orchestrated with then Franklin Quest to
form FranklinCovey.
Over the years, Covey has gained considerable respect and influence with executives and leaders of Fortune 500 companies as well as with mid- and small-sized private sector and public sector organizations he's consulted. Clients recognize his unique perspective on realworld organizational issues based on his practical experience as a former CEO.Covey currently serves on the board/advisory board of several entities, including the Human Performance Institute—the leader in energy management technology—where he serves as Advisory Board Chairman. Covey resides with his wife and children in the shadows of the Rocky Mountains.
