من المحزن أن أكتب هذا الكلام من بعد وفاة ستيفن كوفي بيوم واحد !
الكتاب في وصفه الأول "كثير حكي" يمكن كان اختصار الكثير من المقدم
وإعطاء خلاصات مفيدة بشكل أجمل، يحتوي على الكثير من النظريات
والجانب الذي يتحدث فيه الكتاب مبني على البعد العملي تماماً.
تشعر في لحظات أنك ضائع في صفحاته لعدم وجود بعض الترابط، الترجمة أثرت ! من الممكن.
النجمة الثالثة استحقها لأنه في أجزاء يعطيك كلاما ً رائعا ً يمكن استقراءه من الواقع أو تحويله إلى الواقع.
وللأمانة الكتاب من الممكن أن يعطى كدورة أو مادة تدريسية، ولكن لا يص...more

While it has a good message, I found it to be somewhat drawn out.

I love Covey; he really goes in depth while keeping everything plain and simple. This book basically goes over four levels of Leadership; Personal, Interpersonal, Managerial and Organizational and how you will succeed at each level by applying the key corresponding principles; Trustworthiness, Trust, Empowerment and Alignment.
If you are familiar with Covey you will tie a lot of these principles with other of his concepts, I felt this gave me an extra layer of understanding. Read It!

This is an excellent book that shows how to implement the 7 Habits of Highly-Effective People in organizations and relationships. I think that this book gives great insights into effective human resource planning and strategy. You have to look at your organization as a whole and people as a whole. What motivates? What inspires to do better? A mission and common goal are important. I found the chapters on managing expectations, and involving and empowering people very interesting...especially bec...more
Stephen Covey did well for me with his books in primarily turning self-improvement from a pursuit for its own end, to one where I make genuine changes and for the right reasons.
He has helped me discover my reasons for wanting to be better, and at the same time has given me lasting lessons on how to do it long-term, and over and over in my life as new things come to my awareness.

Who would not like our political leaders to practice the type of leadership described in this book, especially in the contentious climate that seem to be the rule these days? As for the book itself, the constant repetition of the same ideas becomes tedious after a while, though I understand that it is a compendium of articles written for different audiences.
This has been one of the best books on life I have read in some time. I would agree with many of the other reviewers that this was a fairly repetitive book, and normally I would have only given something like this 4 stars, but the difference for me was that the concepts are powerful enough that it deserves a lot of praise. The book is a good companion to Covey's phenomenal 7 Habits book, by acting as a new lens through which to view the 7 Habits concepts. This book illustrates how the use of so...more
This book resonnated with me. The author's main point is that many of our leaders (in businesses, politics, and even in families) should reconsider their paradigms. They should consider what is driving their decisions -- a set of static rules or a set of principles. It was a quick read that I am sure to read again.
This book offered excellent insight into leadership, power, and how we become principle-centered leaders. I highly recommend the book for teachers, business owners, and people who are interested in looking at themselves and their leadership qualities. This book was a part of my certification homework for Forrest Yoga.
really enjoyed reading this book, Stephen Covey really homed in a specific part of the classic 7 habits books, really a great book all round from a real expert, relevant for personal life as well as business

Equally applicable to your personal & professional lives. True leadership starts by working from the inside (on yourself) outward. I'd include this as required reading (and as a refresher course for some who read it before) for a lot of the leaders I encounter.
Good read, meant to augment 7 Habits. I would recommend this for those who are in management or supervisory positions (or want to be). It would be helpful to read the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People first.
Every individual should search for what set principles govern their decisions and action, so they don't get eaten by a constantly changing environment. Quite an interesting on leadership and change management
One of the better reads of the self help books I long ago ceased to read after having read the same messages over and over. This was a exception in many ways and well worth the effort and well written.
Covey's book calls the reader to focus on the character of the person. This book uses Covey's Seven Habits to strike at the heart of what we need as leaders- to be servants to those that "follow" us.
I love the work of Stephen Covey. I had read this book when it was first published. Enjoyed reading it again. It is filled with info I want to apply to my personal life as well as to our charter school.
Because you enjoy John Maxwell’s leadership books, you might enjoy Principle-Centered Leadership by Stephen R. Covey, who is well-known for his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
I read this book during a course I took on strategic leadership. It was a welcome compliment to the structual component of the course related to strategic and critical thinking models and tools.
On the order of self-help, this is an excellent book. It's a quick read, which is a super plus for me! Good material presented in a format that makes it stick with you. GOOD READ!
Knowledge for both personal and business lives. Looking for short term results...focus on attitude and behavior. Looking for long term results...change the paradigm.
I plan to have this on my 're-read' list. Much to absorb and reflect upon. Would recommend this book from both a personal standpoint and leadership standpoint.
I loved the chapter "Eight WaysTo Enrich Marriage and Family Relationships." I really enjoy reading books that go beyond leadership and success at work and touch positive principles for success at home.

... Not that what he's getting at isn't true, but so many others have said it better, and with less self-aggrandizement. Yuck.

a great little book by Stephen Covey. A great and easy read for anyone that wants to grow in leadership in any area of their life.
taught me to write down my goals once in awhile....so I am not walking around reacting to life.
Excellent book... should be required reading for all business and political leaders.

“ماذا سيحدث إذا أصغيت إلى الآخر ؟ سيتغير الأمر برمته : لقد أصغى أحدهم إلى , وأعتقد أن كلماتي راقت له , صحيح أنه لم يبد موافقة أو عدم موافقة , إلا أنه كان ينصت , حتى إنه أشعرني بأنه يرى العالم كما أنظر إلية , وهكذا فقد شعرت أنني أصغى إلى نفسي وبدأت أحوز الثقة في نفسي”
