Title: The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
Author: Stephen R. Covey
Stars: ***
Find your voice and inspire others to do the same. That’s habit number
eight. To find your voice there must be a conscience-based unity of mind,
heart, body, and spirit. As an example, for a person to be fulfilled at work
s/he needs to be able to use his/her talents and gifts (Mind), must be
passionate about the work (Heart), must be paid fairly (body), and the work
must have meaning (Spirit).
After explaining how to achieve personal voice, Covey shows how to
achieve and institutionalize organizational voice.
It’s not “The Seven Habits,” but it’s really hard to go wrong with Covey.
Actually, the seven habits do weave their way in and out of this book. As is
typical of Covey's work, it also includes quite a few inspirational stories to
include the father who leaves his son with the following advice on his
deathbed, “Don’t do life like I did. I never made a difference.” For the first
time the son realizes that he wanted his success to reach higher than him.
Enjoy.
