The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal
Change was a groundbreaker when it was first published in 1990, and it
continues to be a business bestseller with more than 10 million copies
sold.
Stephen Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority,
realizes that true success encompasses a balance of personal and
professional effectiveness, so this book is a manual for performing better
in both arenas.
His anecdotes are as frequently from family situations as
from business challenges. Before you can adopt the seven habits,
you'll need to accomplish what Covey calls a "paradigm shift"--a change in
perception and interpretation of how the world works. Covey takes you
through this change, which affects how you perceive and act regarding
productivity, time management, positive thinking, developing your
"proactive muscles" (acting with initiative rather than reacting), and
much more. This isn't a quick-tips-start-tomorrow kind of book.
The
concepts are sometimes intricate, and you'll want to study this book, not
skim it. When you finish, you'll probably have Post-it notes or
hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you'll feel like you've
taken a powerful seminar by Covey. --Joan Price--This text
