ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Dr. Stephen R. Covey (1932-2012) was a world-renowned authority on leadership and family relations. He held a Bachelor of Science from the University of Utah, an MBA from Harvard, and a PhD from Brigham Young University. Dr. Covey served as Vice Chairman of FranklinCovey Co., and was an in-demand speaker, teacher, and organizational consultant. Right through his career, Dr. Covey brought new insight and understanding to millions of readers and students.
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 steadily from family situations as from business challenges.
Before you’ll be able to adopt the seven habits, you’ll be able to 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-the next day to come kind of book. The concepts are occasionally intricate, and you will want to study this book, not skim it. When you finish, you’ll be able to probably have Post-it notes or hand-written annotations in every chapter, and you’ll be able to feel like you’ve taken a powerful seminar by Covey. —Joan Price
