Summary: You Need to Understand These Fundamentals
Review: Think about this idea.... In order to have trust, you need trustworthy people, in order to have empowerment you need to have trust, in order to have organizational alignment you need to have empowerment. What a concept !!! And yet so many of us try to create organizational strategies and ask people to align to them. If you want to take the truely effective route to getting your organiztion aligned to a strategy, read this book, better yet get the 6 set cassette tapes and listen to the over and over. You will soon begin to understand Covey's inside out approach and how it makes the world of difference in how you approach the problem of leadership in your organization. A must for anyone in a leadership position or wanting to influence someone in a leadership position.

Summary: Another winner by Covey---Great addition to 7 Habits
Review: This book brings the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People together with Demings 14 Points. If organizations were to use this methodology, they too would be effective. I recommend this book because it had a profound effect on an organization I was working for.Can we lead better individual lives and have our corporations apply principles that will take those individuals to higher levels of accomplishment? America applies these principles in most of the best companies, these are enduring principles. This is a book to read for leaders and teachers in business.

Summary: Be a Principle-Centered Leader and Achieve Greater Success
Review: This book is a natural follow up to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, making it clear that a highly effective person can become a natural leader. However, the highly-effective leader needs to practice and preach principles that make everyone comfortable, are positive for humanity and results in trust. Imagine the untapped potential companies could realize if they were run by highly-effective principle-centered leaders. This brings to mind those "stalls" that Donald Mitchell, Carol Coles and Robert Metz talk about in "The 2,000 Percent Solution" would disappear. The Procrastination Stall (We'll do it tomorrow), The Communications Stall (the message is not understood), The Disbelief Stall (We can't do it), The Tradition Stall (We've always done it this way), The Bureaucratic Stall (too many unproductive policies and procedures), The Misconception Stall (based on poor assumptions) and The Unattractiveness Stall (Not wanting to wade in murky waters) would get out of the way of impede progress. The principle-centered leader would ask the right questions, do the right things, and match the person to the task for passion and success. As Stephen Covey helps to create more principle-centered leaders, Don Mitchell helps to teach them how to create 2,000 percent solutions. Together they teach us what success is all about.

Summary: simply worked over bromides
Review: This book is essentially a set of loosely connected chapters that reflect a philosophy of living occasionally combined with well-known managerial methods (e.g. delegation, empowerment,e tc.). There is nothiing in this that one probably hasn't already abstracted from reading/visiting other spiritual sources. The tag to leadership and mangement simply doesn't work. Throughout the book are direct marketing efforts to buy more products and use Covey's consulting firm...Unbelievable that this could be as popular as it it; intellectually impoverished and a ploy to sell more..

Summary: Leadership Built on Trust and Ethics
Review: This book is written in a clear and down to earth style and has practical ideas and suggestions to make you more like that ideal leader you envision. Remember that leader in your mind you wish was encouraging you daily? Covey helps you to learn to be more like that person than you thought possible. The book promotes the idea that business and ethics are not mutually exclusive. Covey explains that the foundation of an organization must be built on individual trustworthiness, which in turn leads to trust, then to empowerment and finally alignment. He gives you a practical step-by-step process to practice and preach these principles to unleash the potential of organizations after they begin to be run by principle-centered leaders. He leads you down a long journey of hard work, commitment, and long-term perspective to end up realizing what success is all about. Some may feel that the book is effective for beginners rather than experienced managers, but I feel that anyone can take away ideas and reminders on how to become a better person and in turn a great leader. His explanations allow us to understand people and human nature, which in turn allows for better effective management of people.

Summary: Great concept but read The 7 Habits First
Review: This book promotes "Principles" as our most effective resource in leadership. This is an excellent book but read "The Seven Habits" by the same author first. "The 7 Habits" gives you the foundation to put this book to best use.
