The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Covey
Old sales adage ’sell first your company then your product then you’.
Stephen Covey’s best-selling book presents a framework to improve you and your personal effectiveness. Simply scanning the pages and stripping out some of the key phrases from the text;
- Pro-activity
- Thinking win-win
- Seeking first to understand and then to be understood
- Synergise; seeking a solution based on mutual trust and understanding
- Principle centred personality
- Continuous self-improvement
provides you with a starting point for a customer satisfaction survey on you and your performance. Not surprisingly then, the book provides a wealth of guidance on improving your self awareness and personal effectiveness.
The book combines a mix of philosophy, management research and anecdotes in a distinctly American can-do format to provide an easy to follow stepwise approach to self-improvement.
