The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Character, rather than technique, is where Stephen R. Covey locates lasting effectiveness, and the seven habits follow from that premise. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People moves from private victory to public victory, covering proactivity, purpose, prioritising, mutual benefit, listening before being understood, cooperation, and the renewal that keeps the rest sustainable. Covey explains each habit with diagrams, examples and exercises, and the framework has been used as widely in management training as in personal planning. The result is a structured programme rather than a loose collection of tips. Framework in brief: • Seven habits arranged from self-mastery to working with others • Covers proactivity, priorities, listening and renewal • Includes exercises and diagrams for applying each habit • Long established in leadership and management training Suited to managers, students and readers planning long-term change, this Simon & Schuster edition is available at Boipoka.
