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.

Leadership

This is an excellent short series that I am sharing with my team leaders for leadership development. I highly encourage all leaders to take this opportunity to learn more about yourself as a leader and to empower those you wish to develop as leaders.

this is a must read for all leaders

This book was very well written and provides great insights to true leadership. For new leaders, these ideas will give you a great starting point to build your skills from.

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.

Have you listened to any of Stephen R. Covey’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes & with each new book I read (or listen to) from Dr. Covey is an improvement from the previous one.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

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