Stephen Covey, a beloved guru, writer, speaker and a leader in transformational learning died last week. He made many contributions to helping people develop and grow themselves to change their lives and our world. He is widely recognized for his best-selling book, “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.”
We don’t have to look far in our world to see rapid change. People who lead and influence may find themselves in a whirlwind cycle of reactivity, feeling as if the world is happening around them, and often is not the world they wish it could be. Leaders who are effective demonstrate resilience and the capacity to skillfully handle a changing environment.
Most of us struggle with the repetitive patterns of negativity at one time or another. It’s important to realize that this can be changed, and that we are in charge of that choice. This simple realization is transformational for individuals, leaders, and organizations.
As we celebrate Independence Day and our hard-won liberty as a free-nation, I couldn’t help but think about other freedoms that many Americans seek. I often hear from clients and others that what they would truly appreciate is freedom from overwhelm.
It’s the first full week of summer. For many, it’s the traditional time for taking things a bit easier; enjoying long weekends, perhaps a long-needed vacation, or simply getting time to complete those long, lost “to-do” items on a more relaxed schedule. Are you feeling too busy?
