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.
