There are those works which are so popular that many people
just blow them off. The works of the late Stephen
Covey fall into that category. They've
been around for so long that too often people overlook them. And like most popular works, he has his
detractors, who are put off by numbered lists and charts (6 these and 5 those
and the like). While his works seem to
principally focus on managing your time, which is a skill that all leaders need,
there is a lot more to his works then that.
There is a lot to his works that require more than a superficial reading.
