The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People [antikvár]

AcknowledgmentsInterdependence is a higher value than independence.This work is a synergistic product of many minds. It began in the middle seventies as I w^as reviewing 200 years of success literature as part of a doctoral program. I am grateful for the inspiration and wdsdom of many thinkers and for the trans-generational sources and roots of this wisdom.I am also grateful for many students, friends, and colleagues at Brigham Young University and the Covey Leadership Center and for thousands of adults, parents, youth, executives, teachers, and other clients who have tested this material and have given feedback and encouragement. The material and arrangement has slowly evolved and has imbued those who have been sincerely and deeply immersed in it with the conviction that the Seven Habits represent a hoHstic, integrated approach to personal and interpersonal effectiveness, and that, more than in the individual habits themselves, the real key lies in the relationship among them and in how they are sequenced.For the development and production of the book itself I feel a deep sense of gratitude:to Sandra and to each of our cfiildren and their spouses for living lives of integrity and service and for supporting my many travels and involvements outside the home. It's easy to teach principles loved ones live.to my brother John for his constant love, interest, insights and purity of sold.to the happy memory of my father.to my mother for her devotion to her more than 87 living descendants and for her constant demonstrations of love.to my dear friends and colleagues in the business, especially:to Bill Marre, Ron McMillan, and Lex Watterson for feedback, encouragement, editorial suggestions, and production help.
