Publisher's summary

Great organizations are created by great leaders - leaders who can unleash the highest and best contributions of their teams toward their organizations' most critical strategic priorities.

This is FranklinCovey's flagship leadership-development program. It takes a "mind-set, skill-set, tool-set" approach to developing leaders who can unleash the talent and capability of their team against the organization's highest priorities. In addition to drawing from a proven legacy of developing effective leaders, Stephen Covey also taps into the best thinking of well-known leadership experts, including Fred Reichheld, Clayton Christensen, and Stephen M. R. Covey.

This program addresses the specific challenges leaders face every day including:

Building trust and influence with others

Defining a team's purpose and the "job to be done"

Creating a strategic link between the work of the team and the goals of the organization

Connecting the work of the team to the organizations economic model

Aligning the four essential systems of execution, talent, core work processes, and customer feedback.

A must listen.

good listen

Is there anything you would change about this book?

More. I would have liked to have a bit more depth and breadth and depth of materials. I did not feel like I was hearing anything new.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

This book, for me, was not as strong as other books from Covey. It is a good listen and has some good materials and tidbits on leadership.

Good, but certainly not great.

If you could sum up Stephen R. Covey on Leadership in three words, what would they be?

Motivating but hokey.

Any additional comments?

I agree with other reviewers that said this book lacks depth. If you almost threw one of your people out a window today, this book might help you find your center again. You WILL feel an uptick in your desire to "change the world," but you won't gain much in the way of how to do it. It's a series of vignettes more than it is an audio book.

Covers the many layers of leadership very well.

This book is another Covey masterpiece. Dr. Covey continues to strengthen my resolve to be a better leader in all areas of my life.
