An inspirational and practical guide to leadership from the New York Times–bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
Covey, named one of Time magazine’s 25 Most Influential Americans, is a renowned authority on leadership, whose insightful advice has helped millions. In his follow-up to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he poses these fundamental questions:
How do we as individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change?Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results?How do we unleash the creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves and others?Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal and professional life is possible?  
The key to dealing with the challenges that we face is to identify a principle-centered core within ourselves and our institutions. In Principle-Centered Leadership, Covey outlines a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations.
Offering insights and guidelines on how to apply these principles both at work and at home, Covey posits that these steps will lead not only to an increase in productivity and quality of work, but also to a new appreciation of personal and professional relationships as we strive to enjoy a more balanced, rewarding, and ultimately more effective life.
“There seems to be no limit to the number of writers offering answers to the great perplexities of life. Covey, however, is the North Star in this field . . . without hesitation, strongly recommended.” —Library Journal

Quotes

  • CZ Zarranzhas quoted3 years ago
    Be reactive: doubt yourself and blame others.
    Work without any clear end in mind.
    Do the urgent thing first.
    Think win/lose.
    Seek first to be understood.
    If you can’t win, compromise.
    Fear change and put off improvement
  • David Xiaohas quoted4 years ago
    We may attempt to do it as a kind of intellectual or moral exercise, but if we don’t have a sense of responsibility, of service, of contribution, something we need to pull or push, it becomes a futile endeavor.
  • David Xiaohas quoted4 years ago
    Those striving to be principle-centered see life as a mission, not as a career. Their nurturing sources have armed and prepared them for service. In effect, every morning they “yoke up” and put on the harness of service, thinking of others.
