| Stephen R. Covey says that the new Information/Knowledge Worker Age, exemplified by the Internet, calls for an eighth habit to achieve personal and organisational excellence: “Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs.” Covey sees leadership “as a choice to deal with people in a way that will communicate to them their worth and potential so clearly they will come to see it in themselves.” His holistic approach starts with developing one’s own voice, one’s “unique personal significance.” The bulk of the book details how, after finding your own voice, you can inspire others and create a workplace where people feel engaged.
This includes establishing trust, searching for third alternatives (not a compromise between your way and my way, but a third, better way) and developing a shared vision. |
