The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is one of THE BEST books ever published for use in both a person's business and personal life.

Covey's CD version of the book is a must for helping ANYONE be a better and more effective person!!

Yep, along with John Maxwell’s “The 21 Irrefutable Laws of Leadership”.

I re-read his book every couple years. A must for any business person.

Didn’t the government do all the hard work for Covey and did all of the ground work for him to be successful?

That would be the Obama Administration...

Oh, How sad....I was privileged to attend one of his seminars which he led....never forget the rock/sand demonstration. His books and outlook helped millions. (What the heck was he doing on a bike at 79?)
