The 8th Habit
From Effectiveness to Greatness

Sobre o que é?
The 7 Habits generate the 8th Habit: Find your voice; help others find theirs. Bring mind, body, heart and soul to work.
Recommendation
A cynic toward sequels would note that Steven Covey took only a little more than 300 pages to explain his first seven habits, but 409 pages and an accompanying CD to expound on the eighth. Cynicism aside, however, this book - this 8th Habit - is worth every page. Give Covey credit. He could rest on his laurels and just write bland, non-threatening "how to lead" books and they would all be bestsellers. Covey eschews mediocrity, however, and tells it straight. Most employees experience considerable emotional pain working in their organizations, he says, because they are treated as objects, not full human beings. Covey adds his prestige to the notion that the knowledge worker is a new model for change in the unspoken, unwritten contract between employer and worker. He bases this fresh paradigm on respect for the complete person - mind, body, heart and soul - not just the part that works from nine to five. Covey’s voice is powerful and unique. He is committed to helping others find their unique voices as well. getAbstract recommends this highly for anyone in the workplace.
