The Big Idea For years, “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”has become a bible for individuals and executives who seek to improve their lives and their careers. According to author Stephen Covey, effectiveness is the tool for survival in today’s fast-paced environment. However, in order to truly become excellent and succeed in the new Knowledge Worker Age, you must build on and move beyond effectiveness and into greatness. You must find your own voice and inspire others to find their own voices as well. Finding your voice requires a shift in thinking. To succeed in your journey towards greatness, you need a new mindset, a new skill-set and a new habit. Stephen Covey’s “The 8th Habit” will guide you as you take the necessary change into greatness. The Pain, the Problem and the Solution The Pain People become dissatisfied with their jobs for various reasons. These reasons include stress, pressure, terrible bosses, feelings of frustration, and a host of other things. Overworked, underpaid and under-appreciated employees end up affecting the productivity and effectiveness of an organization adversely. More and more companies are expecting their employees to produce more for less. Furthermore, some companies do not utilize their employees’ talents and intelligence to the full extreme. As a result, employees feel that they are not growing within the company. Even worse, employees are left in the dark without a clear vision of where the company is headed. The Problem The 20 th century was known as the Industrial age. As the new millennium unfolds, civilization is now moving towards a new age - the age of information or the Knowledge Worker Age. This is where the problem begins. Managers still insist on operating under the controlling mindset of the industrial age. Employees are treated as objects that can be controlled. Lower-level staff members are also not given the opportunity to act on a problem or to come up with solutions on their own. This paradigm leads to a culture of co-dependency and compliancy. In this culture, a worker loses his voice because he believes that his views are not significant enough. . . . . . . |
