A Review On THE 8th HABITt: FROM EFFECTIVENESS TO GREATNESS by Stephen R. Covey
Ratih Soe's review on
"The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness" by Stephen R.Covey
Free Press, New York, 2004, pp.5, 97-98, 313, 315, 409
Have
you ever met somebody who changed how you see yourself? Stephen R.
Covey, an internationally respected leadership authority, family expert,
teacher, organizational consultant and author who has written several
acclaimed books, incl
uding the international bestsellers, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People and The 8th Habit,
says that his life profoundly changed when the president of the
organization he had recently joined as a young man, entrusted him with a
new assignment. He was asked to travel around the country and train
local leaders, most of them much older than himself. Feeling young and
inexperienced, Covey hesitated. Noticing his slow response, the
president looked straight at him and said, “I have great confidence in
you. You can do this. I will help you to prepare to teach. . .” This
vote of confidence and promise of support is what gave Covey the courage
to look within himself. As he says in his book, The 8th Habit, “His
confidence, his ability to see more in me than I saw myself, his
willingness to entrust me with responsibility that would stretch me to
my potential unlocked something inside me. I accepted the assignment and
gave my best.”
