Principle-Centered Leadership by Stephen Covey is insightful. Covey is diligent in providing motivation to become a life-long learner (something I can greatly appreciate). Covey provides the keys to unlocking personal fulfillment and life-long professional success.
Effective Managers and Leaders build habits that lead to their success. Stephen Covey, in his book The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, outlines seven habits that effective people follow:
Be Proactive
Begin with the End in Mind
Put First Things First
Think Win-Win
Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
Synergize
Sharpen the Saw
I work with many great Leaders and Managers and I see these habits in all of them. I can’t recommend these habits enough. When applied correctly, these habits will lead to success. Learn them, practice them, live them.
