Do you know that much of what you've learned about management and supervising is wrong? Are you aware that many of the business books you've read and classes you've attended have little or nothing to do with real life? Do you realize that much of the training you've taken about how to be an effective supervisor of a team of people actually serves to slow projects down, fails to inspire, and produces more work for everyone?

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 125
Have you ever asked yourself why some people are more successful than others? What is it that makes them leaders that stand out in the crowd? Their work ethic and personality could be contributing factors, but that is only one part of the story. The rest of the story is one that only emotional intelligence can tell. We are emotional. Sometimes, we respond based on those emotions. We even make decisions based on those emotions. Whether it turns out to be a good thing or not depends entirely on the way we learn how to control these emotions.

Celebrating its 15th year of helping people solve personal and professional problems, this special anniversary edition includes a new foreword and afterword written by Covey that explore whether the 7 Habits are still relevant and answer some of the most common questions he has received over the past 15 years.

Publisher's Summary
Between the extremes of passive and aggressive styles is an effective, winning management approach - the assertive style. Assertive doesn't mean overbearing, pushy, or autocratic. It's a valuable, balanced approach that assures you'll handle people, get things done, and communicate - all in the same level-headed, confident manner. Understand the three styles of management. Specify what you need, when you need it, and the quality you receive. Motivate others to perform as expected. Learn the skills that guarantee you'll leap the hurdles you face everyday, earn more respect at work, and feel better about your role as leader.
Learn how to understand the three styles of managing; specify what you need, when you need it, and set quality standards; motivate others to perform as expected; master the four R's of assertion; prepare for conflict and never be caught off guard again; negotiate conflict in the workplace; and communicate assertively and effectively.
