Stephen Covey First Things First
First Things First is a self-help book written by Stephen Covey, A. Roger Merrill, and Rebecca R. Merrill. It offers a time management approach that, if established as a habit, is intended to help a person achieve “effectiveness” by aligning him- or herself to “First Things”.
Stephen Covey Begin With The End In Mind
Begin with the End in Mind means to begin each day, task, or project with a clear vision of your desired direction and destination, and then continue by flexing your proactive muscles to make things happen.
Stephen Covey 7 Habits
Since its first publication in 1989, the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Covey’s best-known book, has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. The audio version became the first non-fiction audiobook to sell more than one million copies in U.S. publishing history. Covey argues against what he calls “the ethical personality,” something he sees in many modern self-help books as prevalent. He promotes what he calls “the ethics of character”: aligning one’s values with so-called principles of “universal and timeless.” Covey firmly refuses to confuse principles and values; he sees principles as external laws of nature, while values remain internal and subjective.
Covey claims that values govern the behavior of individuals, but ultimately principles determine the effects. In a series of habits, Covey presents his teachings, manifesting as a progression from dependence through independence to interdependence.

Stephen Covey Emotional Bank Account
Stephen Covey (The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People) uses the metaphor of Emotional Bank Account to describe “the amount of trust that’s been built up in a relationship” (p. 188). This is one of the most powerful and graphic concepts to date on building relationships based on trust. The basic tenet of this simple yet profound principle is that we maintain a personal “emotional” bank account with anyone who works or relates to us. This account begins on a neutral balance. And just as with any bank account, we can make deposits and withdrawals. However, instead of dealing with units of monetary value, we deal with emotional units.

Stephen Covey 8th Habit
Covey’s 2004 book The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness, an imprint of Simon & Schuster has been published by Free Press. It is the sequel to The Seven Habits. Covey argues that efficiency in what he calls the “Knowledge Worker Age” is not enough. He says that”[ t]he challenges and complexity that we face today are of a different magnitude.” Essentially, the 8th habit urges: “Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs.”
Stephen Covey Injury and Death
In April 2012, when he lost control of his bike and fell, Covey, an avid cyclist, was riding a bike at Rock Canyon Park in Provo, Utah. He was wearing a helmet but the helmet slipped and his head hit the pavement, according to his daughter, Catherine Sagers. Catherine said Covey “went too fast down a hill and flipped on the bike. It was a pretty big goose egg on the top of his head.” Covey also suffered from cracked ribs and a partially collapsed lung.
Covey died at the age of 79 at the Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls, Idaho, on July 16, 2012, from complications caused by the bike accident.
