In the more than fifteen years since its publication, the classic The 7
Habits of Highly Effective People has become an international
phenomenon with over fifteen million copies sold. Tens of millions of
people in business, government, schools, and families, and, most
important, as individuals have dramatically improved their lives and
organizations by applying the principles of Stephen R. Covey's classic
book.
The world, though, is a vastly changing place. The challenges and
complexity we all face in our relationships, families, professional
lives, and communities are of an entirely new order of magnitude. Being
effective as individuals and organizations is not longer merely an
option--survival in today's world requires it. But in order to thrive,
innovate, excel, and lead in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker
Age, we must build on and move beyond effectiveness.
The call of this new era in human history is for greatness; it's for
fulfillment, passionate execution, and significant contribution.
Accessing the higher levels of human genius and motivation in today's
new reality requires a sea change in thinking: a new mind-set, a new
skill-set, a new tool-set--in short, a whole new habit. The crucial
challenge of our world today is this: to find our voice and inspire
others to find theirs. It is what Covey calls the 8th Habit.
So many people feel frustrated, discouraged, unappreciated and
undervalued--with little or no sense of voice or unique contribution.
The 8th Habit is the answer to the soul's yearning for greatness, the
organization's imperative for significance and superior results, and
humanity's search for its "voice." Profound, compelling, and stunningly
timely, this groundbreaking new audiobook of next-level thinking gives a
clear way to finally tap the limitless value-creation promise of the
Knowledge Worker Age. Covey's new audiobook will transform the way we
think about ourselves and our purpose in life, about our organizations,
and about humankind. Just as The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
helped us focus on effectiveness, The 8th Habit shows us the way to
greatness.
