Abstract
This paper contends that Stephen Covey's "Principles of Personal Management" in his book, "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People", is important because it reinforces the responsibility of each individual. The paper analyzes this third chapter of the book.
From the Paper
"Character comes from discipline and this is also something we do not hear much about these days. Character in this sense struck me as extremely important because it the foundation from which all our decisions will be made. Character is often what separates winners from losers. I found it interesting that Covey notes that people with character often do the things they do not want to do out of a deeper responsibility to themselves and their goals."

From the Paper
"If other people believe that you are genuinely interested in what they are saying to you, half of the communication battle has already been won. A simple nod of the head, a smile, body position (leaning forward and so forth) all play a critical role in this regard, and paraphrasing what others have said to ensure that the message has been received is always a good idea. To this end, when others see that you have understood what has been expressed, they will be in a more receptive mood to listen to your response. This paraphrasing also reinforces the sincerity of interest on the part of the manager, since the mental effort required demonstrates an active listening role. This paraphrasing also helps to place the problems in the context of the whole organization, and helps to define the tone of the original message."

From the Paper
"This paper will review author Steven R. Covey's bestselling book, "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". This paper will also analyze Covey's habits and point out which habits will best cause people to become more effective leaders.
One of the first things which Covey points out is that "habits can be learned and unlearned" (46). Covey notes that breaking deeply embedded habits like impatience, procrastination, and selfishness can take time. However, breaking such unpleasant habits is often a crucial step toward a person's achievement of new goals. Although breaking unwanted habits takes a great commitment, Covey asserts that, if a person's desire to change is coupled with an understanding that one must be willing to subordinate what one wants now to achieve what one wants later, a person may ...

Abstract
The author positions the book against what he considers a dubious backdrop of modern self-help literature, which started with Benjamin Franklin's Autobiography and ends with the likes of Tony Robbins and others. The paper discusses how the book has many of the same goals of Franklin's but, unlike the latter, is hampered by a preachy tone, buzzwords, and some silly philosophizing. The author points out that there is some valuable advice in the book, which explains its success and will have readers coming back for more.

'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families', 2006.
A review of Stephen R. Covey's book 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families'.

Abstract
This paper examines a text written by Stephen R. Covey which explores the basic habits of thought and action which result in healthy families. The paper points out Covey's humility in acknowledging that his text cannot be viewed as a cure all for familial strife insofar as no such thing exists.
From the Paper
"Stephen R. Covey's 'The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Families' is an excellent text which describes how families can overcome the vicissitudes of everyday modern life and still find time to help and nurture one another. Covey's book is also very timely insofar as, at the time of its release in 1997, rates of marital infidelity and illegitimacy were at an all-time high and the institution of marriage itself (as well as traditional conceptions of the family) seemed under assault from all sides. Consequently, the book has a "here-and-now" applicability that adds weight to its findings. As expected, Covey divides his tome into seven more-or-less equally long chapters. "

Sharpening the Saw
From the Paper
"Covey has you visualize attending a funeral, your funeral. Think about what you would want a coworker, a spouse, someone in your community to say about you. You are touching on some of your core values. ?Begin with the end in mind is based on the principle that all things are created twice? (Covey, 2003). The first creation is the visualization and the second is the physical. In the business world ?leadership is the first creation. Leadership is not management. Management is the second creation (Covey, 2003). Mission and vision statements are another example of beginning with the end in mind."

Abstract
This paper examines the best-selling book written by Dr. Stephen R. Covey entitled "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People". It presents a critical analysis of the book and shows why books such as these are unoriginal and don't effectively help their readers.
From the Paper
"The seventh point may be self-explanatory, but without it, the other six might fail. Trust your instincts. Dr. Covey calls this "Getting to Yes". It is the idea of establishing confidence in yourself, your decisions, your team, your goal, your dreams. One can read huindreds of "How To" books about management, human resources, expanding the market place, targeting consumers, knowing when to "fold 'em" (pardon, Kenny Rogers!). But, all the books are written by experts, self-styled or otherwise, whose goal may be to inform or to come up with a new, marketable gimmick, but the end goal is to make money imparting their wisdom or their sermonizing."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the message imparted by its author, Sean Covey to all the teenagers of the world. This paper concentrates on the seven habits pointed out by the author in his book and tries to throw some light on the matter. This paper also explains the author?s message according to the reader?s perception and explains how the book can prove to be effective in the life of the reader.
From the Paper
"If a teenager has pessimistic thinking and is in an inferiority complex then there is not much that he/she can obtain out of life. But again if this habit is replaced by an optimistic thinking and a positive attitude, it can make a lot of difference in a sense that it raises self-esteem and brings about a lot of self-confidence in a person. What the author is trying to convey is that all bad habits can be exchanged for better ones only if one desires for it and puts in some effort and will power. An influential writer such as Samuel Smiles once said, ?Sow a thought and you reap an act, Sow an act, and you reap a habit, Sow a habit, and you reap a character, Sow a character, and you reap a destiny? (Get In The Habit, http://www.focusas.com/GetInTheHabit.html)."

Guns Kill People or do People Kill People?, 2002.
A detailed discussion on the topic of gun control.

Abstract
In this study on gun control, particularly in the United States, the writer explores both sides of the issue from a political as well as a moral standpoint. The writer works to present fair presentation for both sides and then draws it all together in the conclusion.
From the Paper
"As the world moves into the future it takes with it lessons of the past. Gun control is an issue that is not black and white. Those who oppose it do so for many reasons and those who support it claim to do so for the same. Gun control is not a one shot deal either. If gun control is enacted there are many options with which the bill can be written into law and fine-tuned for the individual needs or desires of that state. There will probably come a time in which the United States Supreme Court will have to decide what the constitutional authors meant when they penned the second amendment. Until then it is a stand still with both sides taking aim at the other."

Music Effect on Shopping Habits, 2002.
A research design examining the effects of music on grocery store shopper habits.
2,654 words (approx. 10.6 pages), 11 sources, MLA, £ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper details a research design which will follow the hypothesis that when music is played, regardless of the type of music played, that shoppers will spend more time and more money as opposed to the amount of time and money spent when the music is not being played. It provides a methodology explanation, limitations of the study and implications of the study.
From the Paper
"Marketers continuously attempt to influence shopper habits by manipulating their environment. It has been known since the early 1970s that factors such as lighting, layout, sounds, colors and temperature invoke emotional responses in consumers (Kotler, 1973). Research has shown that the amount of time spent in a restaurant was directly related to the amount of money spent (Caldwell and Hibbert, 2002). Musical preferences were found to play a factor in the restaurant experience. However, the tempo of the music was not found to be significant (Caldwell and Hibbert, 2002). Several researchers have focused on the effects of music on consumer behavior (North, Hargreaves, and McKendrick, 1996; Yalch & Spangenberg, 1990; Milliman, 1982)."

Abstract
This paper focuses on the seven habits listed in the book and examines how these can be used in both personal and professional venues as well as the ways in which these pieces of advice are also fundamentally limited in key aspects.
From the Paper
"Stephen Covey's "seven habits of highly effective people" are pretty straightforward and simple: 1) Be proactive; 2) begin with the end in mind; 3) put FIRST things first; 4) think win-win; 5) seek first to understand, then to be understood; 6) synergize; and 7) sharpen the saw. The first three of these habits Covey considers to be private victories, the second three "public victories" and the seventh habit is the renewal process that encompasses all of the other habits."

Personal Development, 2002.

Abstract
This paper analyzes and examines the above books and discusses the seven habits of highly effective people. Based on these readings, the author provides a personal development plan on three specific behaviors she feels would be important for her to develop as a leader.
From the Paper
"The third habit of highly effective people is putting first things first. As Covey notes, individuals and/or teams should ?create a clear, mutual understanding of what needs to be accomplished, focusing on what, not how; results not methods. Spend time. Be patient. Visualize the desired result.? Simply put, in order to develop a personal development plan or other concept, individuals and/or teams need to prioritize. It is impossible for anyone, in one year?s time, to work on everything they would like to learn. Having nine, ten, or more goals and dozens of objectives is akin to being set up for failure."
