The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen R. Covey (1989)
《高效能人士的七个习惯》（The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People），作者史蒂芬•R•柯维（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.
这部管理学经典之作出版后，管理学大师史蒂芬•柯维成了极受欢迎的高管导师。书中为读者提供了简洁但令人记忆深刻的建议，如积极主动（习惯1）、双赢思维（习惯4）和不断更新（习惯7）。柯维曾任杨百翰大学（Brigham Young University）管理学院讲师，也是该校组织行为学系的联合创始人，他后来成立了自己的咨询公司，宣传自己的理论。柯维的理论虽然对有些人而言并不新鲜，但本书易于理解的结构却为他赢得了大批拥护者，美国前总统比尔•克林顿曾邀请柯维前往戴维营对他进行个人指导。
