About This Book
In the more than fifteen years since its publication, the classic The 7 Habits
of Highly Effective People has become an international phenomenon with over
fifteen million copies sold. Tens of millions of people in business, government,
schools, and families, and, most important, as individuals have dramatically
improved their lives and organizations by applying the principles of Stephen R.
Covey's classic book.
The world, though, is a vastly changed place. The challenges and complexity we
all face in our relationships, families, professional lives, and communities are
of an entirely new order of magnitude.
Being effective as individuals and organizations is no longer merely an option
-- survival in today's world requires it. But in order to thrive, innovate,
excel, and lead in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker Age, we must build
on and move beyond effectiveness. The call of this new era in human history is
for greatness; it's for fulfillment, passionate execution, and significant
contribution.
Accessing the higher levels of human genius and motivation in today's new
reality requires a sea change in thinking: a new mind-set, a new skill-set, a
new tool-set -- in short, a whole new habit. The crucial challenge of our world
today is this: to find our voice and inspire others to find theirs. It is what
Covey calls the 8th Habit.
So many people feel frustrated, discouraged, unappreciated, and undervalued --
with little or no sense of voice or unique contribution. The 8th Habit is the
answer to the soul's yearning for greatness, the organization's imperative for
significance and superior results, and humanity's search for its "voice."
Profound, compelling, and stunningly timely, this groundbreaking new book of
next-level thinking gives a clear way to finally tap the limitless
value-creation promise of the Knowledge Worker Age. The 8th Habit shows how to
solve such common dilemmas as:
* People want peace of mind and good relationships, but also want to keep their
lifestyle and habits.
* Relationships are built on trust, but most people think more in terms of "me"
-- my wants, my needs, my rights.
* Management wants more for less; employees want more of "what's in it for me"
for less time and effort.
* Businesses are run by the economic rules of the marketplace; organizations are
run by the cultural rules of the workplace.
* Society operates by its dominant social values, but must live with the
consequences of the inviolable operation of natural laws and principles.
Covey's new book will transform the way we think about ourselves and our purpose
in life, about our organizations, and about humankind. Just as The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People helped us focus on effectiveness, The 8th Habit shows us
the way to greatness.
