Dr Stephen Covey (1932-2012) was and remains a hugely influential management guru. Coveys most famous book, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, became a blueprint for personal development when it was published in 1990. The principles may be used for life in general - they are not limited to workplaces, management, leadership, etc. Coveys concepts actually can help people to grow, change, and become more effective in really any other aspect of human responsibility that you might imagine.

Coveys Seven Habits are easy to understand, but like all the best and simplest models, can be a little more difficult to apply in practice. The Habits seem very simple, and in many ways they are, yet to varying degrees they may entail quite serious changes to thinking and acting.

Be inspired by Coveys ideas nevertheless. They are wonderful.

The Seven Habits are a remarkable set of inspirational and aspirational standards for anyone who seeks to live a full, purposeful and good life, and are applicable today more than ever, as the business world - and life beyond business and work - become more attuned to humanist concepts.

Coveys values are full of integrity and humanity, and contrast strongly with the authority-driven process-based ideologies that characterize management and leadership thinking in earlier times. Indeed Coveys methods extend and adapt with increasing relevance to many more areas in the modern world, for example parenting, relationships, mediation, counselling, etc.

Stephen Covey, as well as being a renowned writer, speaker, academic and humanist, also built a huge training and consultancy products and services business - Franklin Covey which has a global reach. Stephen Covey at one time or other also consulted with and provided training services to most of the worlds leading corporations.

Covey produced a substantial body of educational and teaching work. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People was his first significantly popular creation, and probably remains his greatest.

Here is a quick summary. I encourage you to explore and use his ideas.
