Originally published in 1989, Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is just as meaningful today as it was then.

Business Guidance

In this book, Covey presents an integrated, holistic, principle-centered approach to solving personal and professional problems.  He reveals a step by step path for living life with balance and integrity.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People:

Habit 1. Be Proactive

Habit 2. Begin with the End in Mind

Habit 3.  Put First Things First

Habit 4.  Think Win/Win

Habit 5.  Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood

Habit 6. Synergize

Habit 7.  Sharpen the Saw

To quote Covey: ” By centering our lives on correct principles and creating a balanced focus between doing and increasing our ability to do, we become empowered in the task of creating effective, useful and peaceful lives…for ourselves, and for our posterity.”
