In any conflict, the First Alternative is my way, and the Second Alternative is your way. The fight always boils down to a question of whose way is better. This book presents a new and practical, but incredibly effective and eye-opening, way to reach resolution through using the ''Third Alternative''. The Third Alternative moves beyondyour way or my way to a higher and better way - one that allows both parties to emerge from debate or even heated conflict in a far better place than either had envisioned. With the Third Alternative, nobody has to give up anything, and everyone wins. To a world of escalating strife and contention, Third Alternative thinkers like those Covey profiles in this innovativeand practical book, bring creative solutions, peace and healing. Through key examples and stories from his work as aconsultant, Covey will demonstrate that Third Alternative thinking is the supreme opportunity of our times. Readers will learn how to create new and better results instead of escalating conflict, as well as how to build strong relationships with diverse individuals based on an attitude of winning together. The Third Alternative represents a departure from material on conflict resolution, negotiation and mediation; the book represents a new way of thinking that will be embraced not only by the many fans that have flocked to Covey''s prior books, but also by anyone who is seeking resolution in their professional or personal lives.

An inspirational and practical guide to leadership from the New York Times–bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Covey, named one of Time magazine’s 25 Most Influential Americans, is a renowned authority on leadership, whose insightful advice has helped millions. In his follow-up to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he poses these fundamental questions: How do we as individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change? Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results? How do we unleash the creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves and others? Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal and professional life is possible? The key to dealing with the challenges that we face is to identify a principle-centered core within ourselves and our institutions. In Principle-Centered Leadership, Covey outlines a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. Offering insights and guidelines on how to apply these principles both at work and at home, Covey posits that these steps will lead not only to an increase in productivity and quality of work, but also to a new appreciation of personal and professional relationships as we strive to enjoy a more balanced, rewarding, and ultimately more effective life. “There seems to be no limit to the number of writers offering answers to the great perplexities of life. Covey, however, is the North Star in this field . . . without hesitation, strongly recommended.” —Library Journal

Durante los más de quince años que han transcurrido desde su publicación, Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva se ha convertido en un fenómeno internacional con más de quince millones de ejemplares vendidos. En las esferas de la empresa, el gobierno, la educación, la familia y, más importante aún, en la esfera personal, decenas de millones de personas han mejorado espectacularmente su vida y sus organizaciones aplicando los principios del clásico de Stephen R. Covey. Pero el mundo es un lugar que ha cambiado mucho. Los retos y la complejidad a los que todos nos enfrentamos en nuestras relaciones, nuestra familia, nuestra vida profesional y nuestra comunidad son de una magnitud totalmente nueva. Ser efectivos como individuos y como organizaciones ya no es una opción: sobrevivir en el mundo de hoy lo exige. Pero para prosperar, innovar, sobresalir y liderar en nuestra época, debemos partir de la efectividad para ir más ella de ella. Esta nueva era de la historia humana exige grandeza; exige logros, desempeño apasionado y una contribución importante. Acceder a los niveles más elevados del talento y de la motivación del ser humano en la nueva realidad de hoy exige un cambio radical de pensamiento: una nueva mentalidad, un nuevo conjunto de aptitudes, un nuevo instrumental; en pocas palabras, un nuevo hábito. Nuestro principal desafío en el mundo de hoy es éste: hallar nuestra voz e inspirar a los demás para que hallen la suya. Es lo que Covey llama el octavo hábito. De la misma forma que Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva nos ayudó a centrarnos en la efectividad, El octavo hábito nos muestra el camino hacia la grandeza.

HOW DO YOU HELP a struggling teen, an overwhelmed mother, a teacher who feels inadequate, a divorced man struggling with feelings of self-worth? How can we find our way out of the darkness that so often engulfs us in mortality? The Lord has shown the way. The pattern he used to restore the gospel in a world filled with darkness provides a perfect model for our own spiritual and social development. The most vital questions of life--Who are we? What is our relationship with God and Christ? What would they have us do?--can be answered more clearly each day with this simple but profound program for internalizing the gospel. In his first book in more than twenty years written specifically to an LDS audience, Dr. Stephen R. Covey explores six transcendent events of the Restoration and demonstrates the significance of those events and their sequence in our lives today.

This book outlines the seven key organizational rules for improving effectiveness and increasing productivity at work and at home. It is a companion volume to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, and presents a step-by-step guide that includes in-depth exercises and solutions that teach the fundamentals of fairness, integrity, honesty and dignity.

Según el propio autor de este libro, el aclamado Stephen R. Covey, la gente ineficaz trata de administrar su tiempo basándose en prioridades, mientras que la gente eficaz organiza su vida y sus relaciones basándose basándose en principios, es decir, en leyes naturales y normas que tienen validez universal. El liderazgo es la habilidad de aplicar estos principios a los problemas, lo que se traduce en calidad, productividad y relaciones fructíferas para todos. Así, en esta obra -que promete guiarnos hacia la realización personal y el éxito profesional a través del "liderazgo centrado en principios"-, el autor del best-seller LOS SIETE HÁBITOS DE LA GENTE ALTAMENTE EFICAZ (publicado también por Paidós) invita a los lectores a centrar su vida y su liderazgo en principios intemporales. Y para ello, demuestra que ninguna persona u organización puede sentirse satisfecha sólo con mantenerse en el punto al que ha llegado, es decir que las metas de excelencia y calidad total expresan una necesidad innata del ser humano de progresar en el terreno personal, interpersonal y laboral. Basándose en sus veinticinco años de experiencia como docente y asesor, Covey explica cuáles son las seis condiciones de la eficacia y los métodos para lograr la excelencia en una organización. En este sentido, afirma por ejemplo que no hay nada que tienda tanto al fracaso como el propio éxito, y que es necesario comprender las posibilidades de la gente y no únicamente su conducta. Con la integridad, sensibilidad e intuiciones que hicieron de LOS SIETE HÁBITOS DE LA GENTE EFICAZ un extraordinario éxito de ventas, EL LIDERAZGO centrado en principios demuestra que el aprendizaje permanente es lo único capaz de fortalecer las relaciones humanas tanto en el trabajo como en el hogar.
