Simon & Schuster Inc The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (English, Paperback, Covey Stephen R Dr)

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is Stephen R. Covey's influential guide to personal effectiveness, leadership, productivity, and lasting personal change. Rather than focusing on quick motivational techniques, Covey presents a principle-centered approach based on developing strong character, taking responsibility for one's choices, establishing clear goals, prioritizing important activities, and building effective relationships.

The book takes readers through seven habits designed to help them move from dependence to independence and ultimately to interdependence. Covey explains how personal effectiveness begins with an internal change in values and thinking before extending into relationships, teamwork, leadership, and continuous self-improvement. The publisher describes it as a holistic, integrated, principle-centered approach to solving personal and professional problems.
