Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to live: a life of primary greatness or a life of secondary greatness. Through his classic books and seminars, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness - integrity, responsibility, and meaningful contribution - far outweighed the superficial rewards of secondary greatness - money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider "success".

Most of us live with the stubborn idea that we'll always have tomorrow to do our most important and valuable work. We fill our days with frantic activity, bouncing from task to task, scrambling to make deadlines and chase the next promotion. But by the end of each day we're often left asking ourselves "did the work I do today really matter?" We feel the ticking of the clock, but we're stuck in first gear, unsure of the path forward and without a road map to guide us.

Starting in 1997, Bob Chapman and Barry-Wehmiller pioneered a dramatically different approach to leadership that creates off-the-charts morale, loyalty, creativity, and business performance. The company utterly rejects the idea that employees are simply functions to be moved around, "managed" with carrots and sticks, or discarded at will. Instead Barry-Wehmiller manifests the reality that every single person matters, just like in a family. That's not a cliché on a mission statement; it's the bedrock of the company's success.

Stephen R. Covey believed there were only two ways to live: a life of primary greatness or a life of secondary greatness. Through his classic books and seminars, he taught that the intrinsic rewards of primary greatness - integrity, responsibility, and meaningful contribution - far outweighed the superficial rewards of secondary greatness - money, popularity, and the self-absorbed, pleasure-ridden life that some people consider "success".

Unfortunately Abridged
I'd love to hear the unabridged version in audiobook form. I feel like this abridged audiobook does expand on the topic from 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, but that there should have been more content pulled from the book. It is a great short listen, but I would not spend $10 on something like this again.

It would have been five stars.
And I purchased this audiobook with the assumption that it was the complete text of the written version. It is not. It is profoundly edited and truncated. Additionally, even though the principles are contained herein, the detail and some of the background as well as chapter layout does not appear to be. You would do well to listen to this over and over, but you would do better to read the actual text. Still and yet, exceptional content. Exceptional principles. And totally worthwhile.

I feel sad that I have not studied Stephen Covey's books earlier in my life . There is much wisdom and strength to be found in this text . I hope to read it more than once,, and to study more of his books. There are not many truly good and wise people in this world, and clearly Covey is one of them.

This is the stuff you listen to 20 times in one day (the most impactful segments like the analogy of the farm) Then you think about it for one day. Then you listen to it 20 more times. Then you write some stuff down. Then you begin to walk it out. Then your life is changed. Excellent book.
