That the world has changed and is continuing to change at a rapid pace is not news. People are much more aware of everything around them. The consumer revolution has accelerated dramatically. But something vital is missing in all of this change. Leadership has not kept up with the changes going on in the world. From boardrooms to classrooms, leadership is being challenged on a daily basis yet now a new leadership model has been given. Dr Covey introduces the four roles of the new leader - modelling, pathfinding, aligning and empowering - and how those qualities can change you and your organisation. He discusses how trust can be lost throughout organisations and how it is imperative that any organisation bring trust back to the company if it is to survive. Covey also shows how to go from what he calls a 'want to' person to a 'can do' person and how doing so can completely transform people and organisations. Through his ideas, one will discover how to: Use the four vital roles to establish trust and make growth a given; build and sustain an atmosphere of respect and openness; keep and inspire your most talented workers; apply creative co-operation to reach new levels of performance; develop leadership at every level of your organisation; take advantage of strengths and compensate for weakness; reduce cynicism and improve morale.

Don't order this. It's not clear what edition you'll get. I received the "Miniature Edition", which is a 2 inch square book whose purpose for existence I can't figure out.
THIS WAS NOT INDICATED ON THE PRODUCT PAGE.
First habit of highly effective people? Never order a miniature book.

Avoid Miniature editions
I thought I was purchasing the book "The 8th Habit". Instead I got a 2 inch by 3 inch book that is a 1/2 inch thick. I will be much more careful before I buy from this seller again.

8th Habit is absolutely jam packed with support for growth and happiness based on finding our voice and the power we have within ourselves to choose. It had a DVD with some of the most powerful illustrations intermingled as examples of the text...to sink the premise deep within.

eye opening
I have read critics on stephen r covey..but i can't resist to find that his latest book on 8th Habit will open the eye of mine, and I believe for everyone who want to give his book a room to ponder upon.
8th habit is not something 'missed' when he writes The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. The 8th is more on to add different dimension in applying 7 habits. For example, if we need to sharpen the saw, 8th habit will shed the light of physical, intellectual, emotional and spiritual aspect to be sharpened in our daily life. we can't just be complacent with our emotional 'sharpen-the-saw' because we have 4 components in our selves.
Covey manages to put this into perspective. When discussed about physical, intellectual and emotional aspects, I would say - I agree 100%. But when talking about spiritual aspect, his definition is little bit diffrent from other book I read - Spiritual Quotient by Danah Zohar.
Anyhow, it is worth to understand his model on recognizing the voice of ours, and inspiring others. Once we find the relevance of the model, it is easy to develop self-model to work on success - either it to be rich, expert in knowledge, stable in emotional or highly undistracted spiritual growth.
I would recommend for those who are searching the model to improve oneself or school or company , please consider this book one of them.
