One of the more preachy books that I have readFriday, September 10, 2004
I enjoyed Covey's 7-habits work, and bought this to add to my collection of leadership books. This is one of the most heavy handed, preachy books that I have encoutered. Give me a break! After vomiting, I threw it out. Save your money and try these instead:
Leadership Challenge
21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership
Good to Great
First Break all the Rules

Another winner by Covey---Great addition to 7 HabitsMonday, June 14, 2004
In this great book by Stephen Covey, we learn Covey's philosophy for creating more meaningful relationships and successes in the workplace. something we should be striving to implement throughout business and industry.
Coveys shows us how to implement these techniques in the home and elsewhere and the result is we will be rewarded with happiness and a fulfilling future.
Prior to reading Principle Centered Leadership, I didn't think it was possible to successfully balance my personal, family and professional life.
Principle Centered Leadership is a great addition to Coveys classic 7 Habits of Highly Successful People.

7 Habits 14 PointsWednesday, February 04, 2004
This book brings the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People together with Demings 14 Points. If organizations were to use this methodology, they too would be effective. I recommend this book because it had a profound effect on an organization I was working for.
Can we lead better individual lives and have our corporations apply principles that will take those individuals to higher levels of accomplishment? America applies these principles in most of the best companies, these are enduring principles.
This is a book to read for leaders and teachers in business.

Perfect for serious business professionalsMonday, November 17, 2003
If you are serious about succeeding in the hectic business world, regardless of industry, then this book is a must-have for your personal library.
The principles in this book (along with other works by Dr.Covey) has had such a profound influence on my own career as a motivational speaker and author.
Besides influencing me in a professional capacity, Stephen Covey also assisted with my own transition to self-acceptance and a positive outlook on a better tomorrow. Go for it!
