The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change
By: Stephen R. Covey
Plan now to join us as we discuss, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People as a group. We encourage you to read as much of the book prior to the meeting but it is not required. We will discuss the seven habits and how we can apply them in both our professional and personal lives.
If you've never participated in this type of discussion, now is the time to do it! So much more can be learned from a book like the 7 Habits - especially when it is discussed with your peers!
