La Velocidad de la Confianza [The Speed ​​of Confidence]

I’ll admit: I approached this audiobook skeptical. ‘Trust’ feels like one of those squishy corporate buzzwords that gets slapped on PowerPoints but rarely changes behavior. *La Velocidad de la Confianza* flipped that script. Covey’s argument—that trust is a *economic multiplier*—hits differently when he breaks down real-world examples, like how a low-trust culture at a hospital increased costs by 40% through redundant approvals. That’s not inspiration; that’s a wake-up call. Juan Guzmán’s narration is a masterclass in restraint. His voice is steady, almost clinical, which suits the book’s data-driven approach. No over-emoting, no forced enthusiasm—just clarity. That said, the pacing in the first hour feels *too* measured; I found myself increasing the speed to 1.25x to match the book’s intellectual energy. My other critique? Covey’s ‘13 Behaviors’ section, while useful, can feel repetitive if you’re already familiar with his *7 Habits* work. Still, the audiobook’s production is flawless—no distracting edits or volume spikes—letting the content take center stage. Bottom line: If you’re a leader who’s tired of trust being treated as a ‘soft skill,’ this audiobook will hand you a scalpel. Just be ready to confront how your own behaviors might be taxing your team’s potential.
