The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey
For me, this book was a great precursor to the then week-long training I was fortunate enough to attended several years ago. As a former active duty Infantryman the US Army instilled in me a sense of self-discipline, responsibility and accountability. Once I left the Army, I had all that brewing inside me without a proper outlet. Then came the 7 Habits and with Dr. Covey’s teaching, coaching and guidance I was able to channel all of that into something that made my civilian life better.
Armed with the tools given to back to me by the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People my civilian life was back on track. Recharged and ready to move forward, I was looking at life from a different perspective. Over the course of the next years, I finished my Bachelor’s degree, went on to earn my Master’s in Business Administration. Then after than I went on write my first leadership book followed by my second. Then I began my historical fiction series.
Yes, I do attribute Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as the catalyst that help me redefine myself and that of those around me, family and friends included.
That’s why the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People has the honor of being the first book in my Leadership Book Club.
