Stephen R. Covey

Dr. Stephen Covey has been dubbed "an American Socrates" by success coach Brian Tracy and "a master of motivation, business management, education, leadership and successful components for effective human relations" by Senator Hatch.  Dr. Covey empowers organizations by implementing "principle-centered" leadership.

Stephen believes:

• We see the world, not as it is, but as we are.
• Winning is a habit....so is losing.
• Seven gabuts distinguish the happy, healthy and successful from those who fail or have to sacrifice meaning and happiness for success.
• Becoming successful is a process.
• We alone, can open the door to change within ourselves.
• There are disciplines for our personal dealings with others.
• The best way to unlock corporate productivity is through enhancing the human resource.
• The battle of personal effectiveness is won on 'character ethic' rather than 'personality ethic'.
• Integrity is the integration of life and principles, blending inner thought with outward behaviour.

To illustrate these beliefs, Stephen wrote the life and business guide, The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People. In 2002, Forbes named The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People one of the top 10 most influential management books ever.

His other best sellers include:

• First Things First, Principle-Centered Leadership
• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families
• The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness
  

Stephen is the cofounder and vice chairman of FranklinCovey, a leading global professional services firm, and chairman of FranklinCovey [a merger of Covey Leadership Center with Franklin Quest], and the non-profit Institute for Principle-Centered Leadership.
