In this book, you will find solutions to the following common challenges:
★ People desire inner peace and good relationships while also wanting to maintain their unique lifestyles and habits;
★ Relationships are built on trust, but most people's thinking patterns are self-centered, always considering "What do I want?" "What do I need?" and "What rights do I have?"
★ In management, they always strive to achieve the most output with the least input; while employees often think more about how to gain the most benefits with the least time and effort in a task;
★ Business behavior is influenced by market economic laws, while organizations are controlled by workplace cultural norms;
★ The society we live in is governed by dominant social values, but it cannot ignore the role of sacred natural laws and principles.
Covey's new work will change our perception of ourselves, our understanding of life's purpose and the organizations we belong to, and our view of humanity as a whole. The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People taught us how to focus on efficiency. The 8th Habit of Highly Effective People then points us toward the path of excellence.
