The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

By Stephen Covey

Categories: Business & Money

Stephen Covey argues that lasting effectiveness, at work and at home, starts with character rather than personality tricks. Change yourself first, from the inside out, and your relationships and results will follow. His seven habits build from personal independence to working well with others: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw, his term for regular self-renewal.
