shanshoneh again with another book i read and intreset in....which is called"the seven habits of highly effective people by steven covey
This is one of the best-known leadership books of recent years, and the key phrase in the title is "people-focused". Rather than tackling specific problems or making external changes to processes, systems and so on, Covey's approach helps you focus on developing yourself personally and your relationships with others.
First published in 1989, the Seven Habits of Highly Effective People explains a useful set of guiding principles that help you change personally as well as professionally, and so become
more effective
Covey describes three distinct stages of personal growth that we move through as we develop these habits:
Dependence: This is where we start, dependent on other people. And without personal development, we would stay stuck at this stage.
Independence: Through personal development, we become more independent and take responsibility for our actions. Still, however, we are not fully effective.
Interdependence: At this stage, we develop the understanding that, although we are self-reliant, we still need other people to accomplish our goals. At the interdependence stage we embrace the idea of working together for better results.
