The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey (1989)
《高效能人士的七個習慣》（The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People），作者史蒂芬•R•柯維（1989年）
Managerial magician Stephen Covey became a much sought-after exec-whisperer after publishing his seven-maxim wisdom. Offering sharp saws like Be Proactive (Habit No. 1), Think Win-Win (No. 4), and, well, Sharpen the Saw (No. 7), the book delivers succinct, memorable advice. Covey, a onetime teacher at Brigham Young University’s School of Management and co-founder of its Department of Organizational Behavior, eventually set up a consulting business to market his insights. While Covey’s axioms may come as no surprise to some, it’s the book’s digestible structure that wins him converts—including former President Bill Clinton, who once invited Covey to Camp David for personal guidance.
這部管理學經典之作出版后，管理學大師史蒂芬•柯維成了極受歡迎的高管導師。書中為讀者提供了簡潔但令人記憶深刻的建議，如積極主動（習慣1）、雙贏思維（習慣4）和不斷更新（習慣7）。柯維曾任楊百翰大學（Brigham Young University）管理學院講師，也是該校組織行為學系的聯合創始人，他后來成立了自己的咨詢公司，宣傳自己的理論。柯維的理論雖然對有些人而言并不新鮮，但本書易于理解的結構卻為他贏得了大批擁護者，美國前總統比爾•克林頓曾邀請柯維前往戴維營對他進行個人指導。
