Covey, Stephen R.1990
Books, Manuscripts
"Stephen Covey is a renowned speaker and author on the subject of leadership and personal effectiveness. In his book 7 Habits, he argues that the 'success' literature of the last 50 years was based on what he regarded as the Personality Ethic where success became more a function of personality, of public image, and of attitudes and behaviours, skills and techniques. Covey prefers the literature of the preceding 150 years where the emphasis was on what he called the Character Ethic with its focus on values like integrity, humility, courage, industry, etc. These values are internal to the individual, and using this 'inside-out' approach, Covey identifies seven character traits that set the effective individual apart from the others. 7 Habits is a book that SAF officers can read with profit." -- SAF Professional Reading Programme, 3rd edition, Dec 2003.
