 The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Uk
Can
by Stephen R. Covey "I read this book several years ago when it was first published and attended one of Stephen Covey's workshops a few months later. Both were fantastic and have dramatically changed my personal life and the way in which I have approached my professional career.
I had been hired to help turnaround a small company that had been struggling for some time. After reading the book, I wanted to see if we could apply the concepts presented in Mr. Covey's book to our business challenge. I purchased copies of the book for each employee, and over the next couple of months, we spent an hour each week reviewing and discussing the approach outlined in Stephen Covey's book. Staff members became discussion leaders for different sections of the book. Our company began to experience dramatic improvements in revenues and customer service, and I am convinced that Mr. Covey's book had much to do with our success.
As Mr. Covey recommended, I also prepared a Personal Mission Statement and have attempted to remain focused on it and my personal goals each and every day. I have also tried my best to apply the '7 Habits' concepts to every aspect of my family life and my interactions with others.
One of the '7 Habits' has probably impacted my life more than anything else that I have ever read..."seek first to understand and then to be understood." Prior to reading this book, I was much more interested in communicating what I thought than in understanding the rationale that might exist behind the views of others. Now, I try very hard to understand why others are saying something before I worry about expressing my views.
I would highly recommend this book anyone who might be interested in gaining a better understanding of how he/she can have a more successful and fulfilling life."
