DESCRIPTION:
Following his successful Seven Habits of Highly Effective People (S. He reminds us that personal and organizational success is hard work, requires unwavering commitment and long-term perspective, and is achievable only if we are prepared for a complete paradigm shift in our perspective. Covey explains these laws (security, guidance, wisdom, and power), and discusses how seven-habits practice and focus on these principles will result in personal and organizational transformation. Covey, however, is the North Star in this field. From Library Journal The great "angst" of life has seemingly gripped us all, and there seems to be no limit to the number of writers offering answers to the great perplexities of life. Without hesitation, strongly recommended for all management collections.- Dale Farris, Groves, Tex.
Review of Abridged Cassette Audiobook Edward J. Barton I listened to the abridged audiocassette version of the book. Covey is a master in providing a framework for trust based, employee empowerment. The premise of the book/cassette program is that be developing a set of principles and paragigms that are valid and applicable across a large series of situations and events.

Classic Covey David Day Some reviewers bemoan each and every Covey release, complaining that it is re-hashed material. These critics obviously are missing the whole "principles" point. Principles won't change from publication to publication.If you want to feel rooted and comfortable making organizational decisions, the author points out that this must be done in the context of human needs at the fore. Be prepared to re-invent yourself, and use this book as your guide. I use the word "organizational" so that readers of this review don't misconstrue it as a business book. An organizat
How do we as individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change? Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results despite the millions of dollars in time, capital, and human effort being spent on them? How do we unleash the creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves and others in the midst of pressure? Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal, family, and professional life is possible? Stephen R. Covey demonstrates that the answer to these and other dilemmas is Principle-Centered Leadership, a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. Dr. Covey offers insights and guidelines that can help you apply these principles both at
