Endorsed by high-achievers such as former 49ers quarterback Steve Young and 28-time Olympic medalist Michael Phelps, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens has become the last word on surviving and thriving as a teen.
It’s a book that makes you face yourself and think about what can you do to change your results.
How do we as individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change? Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results despite the millions of dollars in time, capital, and human effort being spent on them? How do we unleash the 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? 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 the recognition of 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 in order to enjoy a more balanced, more rewarding, more effective life.
With the same profound insight, simplicity, and practical wisdom that have already reached tens of millions of readers, Stephen R. Covey demonstrates how the principles he introduced in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People can be used to build the kind of strong, loving family that lasts for generations. As Covey says, " When you raise your children, you are also raising your grandchildren."
Covey explains that strong families don't just happen, but need the combined energy, talent, desire, vision, and dedication of all their members. Sharing insightful, often poignant or humorous experiences from his own life and from the lives of other families, he imparts practical advice on solving common family dilemmas, such as finding quality time to spend together, dealing with family disputes, healing a broken relationship and changing a negative family atmosphere. He shows how families can learn to incorporate principles into their daily lives through activities, meetings, and games that involve all family members and help to create a spirit of understanding, support, and enthusiasm.
Stephen R. Covey, el legendario autor de Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva, creía que solo hay dos tipos de vida: una vida de grandeza primaria y una vida de grandeza secundaria. En sus libros y en sus seminarios enseñó que las recompensas intrínsecas de la grandeza primaria (integridad, responsabilidad y colaboración significativa) superaban con mucho las recompensas superficiales de la grandeza secundaria (dinero, popularidad y la vida de placer egocéntrico que algunos consideran un "éxito"). En esta obra póstuma, Covey presenta las 12 palancas del éxito que conducen a una vida de grandeza primaria.
