Stephen Covey
Fifteen years after writing The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, which has sold over 15 million copies, personal development guru Covey talks about his latest tome, The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness.
AND THE EIGHTH HABIT IS...? Find your voice, your calling, your soul's code, and inspire others to find theirs. It flows from understanding the seven habits.
GIVE US THE CLIFF'S NOTES VERSION OF THE SEVEN HABITS Take responsibility, make your mind up about what's important to you, and live by it. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
WHAT'S THE HABIT THAT'S HARDEST FOR YOU? The listening habit. If I'm really tired and convinced I'm right, I don't want to listen. My kids will say, "Dad, you're trying to listen, but you're faking it."
ARE THE OTHER HABITS SECOND NATURE NOW? Understanding is second nature, but it's constantly a test. The more you know, the more you know you don't know.
