The essential companion workbook to the bestseller The 8th Habit.
From Stephen R. Covey, bestselling author of The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness, comes the accompanying personal workbook that will help you further realize the power of this new habit. The world has changed dramatically since Covey's classic The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was published. The challenges we all face in our relationships, families, professional lives and communities are of an entirely new order of magnitude. In order to thrive in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker Age, we need to build on and move beyond effectiveness—to greatness. Accessing the higher reaches of human genius and motivation in today's reality requires a whole new habit.

The questionnaires, tests, self-assessments, and other exercises in this workbook provide a hands-on approach to developing the mind-set, skill-set and tool-set for achieving greatness in the Knowledge Worker Age. The 8th Habit will transform the way you think about yourself and your purpose in life, about your organization and about humankind.

      Breaking new ground with the addition of a DVD of short video features accompanying the audio CDs, this is the most stimulating lesson ever by one of our greatest organizational experts. Sounding more youthful than ever, Covey describes the historical path of today's corporations and offers prescriptions that strike at the heart of what's wrong with their management practices. Though intellectually intimidating at first, the end result is a coherent and practical set of ideas that rises in every respect above the often trite advice of other leadership writers. Make a difference in the world with your unique talents and passions, Covey tells us with love and obvious confidence in the human race. An inspiring lesson that will move a new generation of Covey disciples to the next level of professional and personal fulfillment. T.W. (c) AudioFile 2004, Portland, Maine

      The PDAs and iPods of self-improvement fans and corporate climbers must have quivered in unison with the release of this sequel to Covey's wildly popular book, THE 7 HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE. THE 8TH HABIT is modest in size but contains Covey's impassioned exhortation to unite mind, heart, and spirit in pursuing one's goals and managing others. Plain common sense united with a sense of mission and inspiration is the key. A quasi-religious, semi-spiritual live lecture, the title works well on its own, if you've a mind to leapfrog past the first seven habits. Covey's unpretentious, sincere delivery drives the message home. D.J.B. (c) AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine

      The original seven habits of highly successful people are still relevant, but Covey, author of the mega-bestseller of that title, says that the new Information/Knowledge Worker Age, exemplified by the Internet, calls for an eighth habit to achieve personal and organizational excellence: "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs." Covey sees leadership "as a choice to deal with people in a way that will communicate to them their worth and potential so clearly they will come to see it in themselves." His holistic approach starts with developing one's own voice, one's "unique personal significance." The bulk of the book details how, after finding your own voice, you can inspire others and create a workplace where people feel engaged. This includes establishing trust, searching for third alternatives (not a compromise between your way and my way, but a third, better way) and developing a shared vision. This book isn't easy going; less business jargon and more practical examples would have made this livelier and more helpful. But if organizations operated with Covey's ideas—and ideals—most people would undoubtedly find work much more satisfying. DVD not seen by PW.
