Seven Habits Of Highly Effective People
The first thing I want to know about Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is what is the deal with the different names credited to the title/concept? I remember when the book first came out, and at the same time do not recall any controversy about who had the idea first, who is collecting the royalties on Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, or who is breaking one of the commandments therein. But today, doing a search for Seven Habits of Highly Effective People—with no author name or punctuation marks or anything, just the six words (the preposition getting booted, of course)—I get the title with Franklin Covey and the same title with Stephen R. Covey…. And before I investigate further, I just muse a bit. I know one big, big, big corporation, like MSN or someone (though DO NOT QUOTE ME) purchased the keyword phrase for another corporation’s product/logo, so when someone does a search, the first result is offered by the one listing the phrase it bought.
Okay, enough rambling paranoia: I will now investigate and let you know who is saying what about r doing what with Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. Oh, okay. This is easy (and innocuous). The WEBSITE is Franklin Covey and the author, as always, is Dr. Stephen R. Covey. Dr. Covey has sold more than 13 million copies of Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. And the many-times revised since the seventies book has been named by FORBES one of the top ten most influential books of all time.
What are the seven habits of highly effective people? Well, given Dr. Covey’s skills, abilities, experience(s) and reputation, you can think in terms of leadership; time-management; family matters; and organizational strategy: Covey is a teacher, a guru, in all these areas. Or, you can consider the contents, those which promise optimum conditioning and optimum results—including being proactive; beginning with the end in mind; putting first things first; thinking win/win; seeking first to understand, then to be understood; synergizing; and sharpening the saw—all of which are in his book, Seven Habits of Highly Effective People…which is listed first by his website, then by the big online booksellers, and eventually by people who have read it and are encouraging you to do the same…to find out the specifics, to be one of those effective leaders, workers, or humans.
Now if I were one of those effective persons, following through on the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, I would go get the details on who is booting whom out of the lineup on Google Search. Maybe I had better go back and read that book again.
