Summary
Stephen Covey: The 8th habit - the path from efficiency to true greatness
The book The eighth habit - the path from efficiency to true greatness starts from the recognizable premise that the world we live in changes from day to day.
Being efficient as an individual or as an organization is no longer a matter of choice - to survive in today's world it is a necessity. But to thrive, to stand out, to become leaders in what Stephen Covey calls the age of the professional workforce, we need something more than efficiency. The new age demands true greatness - fulfillment, passionate commitment and contribution.
Activating the higher spheres of human genius and motivation requires a new psychological structure, new skills, new means - in short, a new habit.
Finding your own voice and inspiring others to find theirs is a key challenge of the times we live in. Stephen Covey calls this challenge the EIGHTH HABIT.
Many people today feel frustrated, discouraged, undervalued or unappreciated, without any awareness that they own their voice and that they can change something with their efforts.
The book The Eighth Habit - the path from efficiency to true greatness is a response to the soul's cry for true greatness, to the imperative of organizations to achieve top results, to humanity's search for its "voice".
Author Stephen Covey in his new book will change the way we think about ourselves and our purpose in life, about the organizations around us and about the human species as a whole. Just as the 7 Habits of Highly Successful People helped us focus on efficiency, 8. habit will show us the way to true greatness.
