This audio is a synthesis of Stephen R. Covey's two day interactive and
intensive workshop on leadership. In this audio program Dr. Covey teaches
managers and leaders how to define their contributions, develop greater
influence, leverage hidden resources, give constructive feedback, and unleash
the full potential of their team against critical priorities.
No organization has ever become great without exceptional leadership, without
leaders who can connect the efforts of their teams to the critical objectives of
the organization, who can tap the full potential of each individual on their
team, who can align systems and clarify purposes, and who can inspire trust. Do
your leaders put your organization on the road to greatness?
Dr. Covey teaches leaders the proven principles of the 7 Habits as applied to
their roles as leaders. It takes a leadership mind-set, skill-set, tool-set-7
Habits approach to developing leaders who can unleash the talent and capability
of their team against the organization's highest priorities.
The 7 Habits for Managers includes Dr. Covey on the 7 Habits as applied to
managers and leaders and a powerful Q&A with Dr. Covey answering some of
managers' toughest questions.

About the Author Stephen R Covey:
Stephen R. Covey (born October 24 1932 in Salt
Lake City, Utah) is the author of the bestselling book, The Seven Habits of
Highly Effective People, as well as other books (First Things First, Principle -Centered
Leadership). He is the founder of the Covey Leadership Center in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and is the "Covey" of the Franklin-Covey Corporation, which
makes planners and organizers and does management consulting. He has his BS in
Business Administration from University of Utah in Salt Lake City, his MBA in
Business Administration from Harvard University, and his DRE in Church History
and Doctorate from Brigham Young University.
The Seven Habits, Covey's most well-known book, was extremely successful and has
sold over 15 million copies since first publication in 1989. In this book, Covey
argues against what he calls "The Personality Ethic", something he
sees as prevalent in many modern self-help books. He instead promotes what he
labels "The Character Ethic," which is based largely upon one's
principles and code of conduct, specifically:
* Habit 1: Be Proactive: Principles of Personal Vision
* Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind: Principles of Personal Leadership
* Habit 3: Put First Things First: Principles of Personal Management
* Habit 4: Think Win/Win: Principles of Interpersonal Leadership
* Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
* Habit 6: Synergize Principles of Creative Communication
* Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw: Principles of Balanced Self-Renewal
Follow-up titles to The Seven Habits are meant to both add to the original and
form a cohesive philosophy on personal, principle-based leadership. They are
available as audio books as well. Covey has also written a number of learning
books for children.
Covey's aim is to help others gain proficiency in their lives, especially within
the context of business and management and make money doing it. However, his
books also emphasize family and personal leadership. They are marketed to a
wide-ranging audience, from high-powered executives to stay-at-home moms.
Similar authors might include Peter Drucker or David Allen, as well as other
more business-centered writers. Covey�s works also exhibit a central
philosophical ideal, which some would interpret as right of center or
conservative, although he was for a time a consultant to President Bill Clinton.
Advocates of Covey's methods point out that the author consistently opposes
"quick-fix" solutions to life or business problems and insists that
changes in paradigm or mindset to align with natural principles are the true
source of solutions. Covey points out, for example, that the paradigm that
produces short-term results in business inevitably leads to an inability to
produce results for the long term. He calls this "killing the golden
goose." The most effective mindset for the business person is to balance
short- and long-term productive capacities.
