About this audiobook
From the author that brought you the New York Times bestseller The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People comes a foundational guide to leadership.
How do individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change?
Why are efforts to improve organizations failing despite the millions of dollars in time, capital, and human effort being spent on them?
How do we unleash creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves—and others—in the midst of pressure?
Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal, family, and professional life is possible?
Stephen R. Covey demonstrates that the answer to these and other dilemmas is principle-centered leadership, a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. The key to dealing with the challenges that face us today is to develop a principle-centered core within both ourselves and our organizations. Dr. Covey offers insights and guidelines that can help you apply these principles both at work and at home—leading not just to a new understanding of how to increase quality and productivity, but also to a new appreciation of the importance of building personal and professional relationships. The result is a more balanced, more rewarding, and more effective life.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Wonderfully explains in detail the importance of Trust & Trustworthiness.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It is an okay book. Total flashback from the 90s. Seems like he tries too hard to make his point. Worth an hour but if it was any longer I would’ve chosen another book.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This. Was. EVERYTHING. Will read again . Thank you Mr Covey for your wisdom
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Weak effort. Not cohesive, rehash of common leadership principles. Big disappointment. I loved 7 Habits and Spiritual Roots of Human Development. This one fell far short of the bar.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a beautiful introduction to the topic. I would listen more than once to soak in all that this has to offer.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Very good to have in tandem with "The 7 habits of highly effective people."Provides tremendous insight on human nature. Provides a great foundation for Management and how to utilize your people effectively. I highly recommend Stephen Covey's books.
