Abstract
Stephen Covey is cofounder and vice chairman of Franklin
Covey, a global professional services firm. Acknowledged by
Time Magazine as one of the 25 most influential Americans, Dr.
Covey is the author of seven books including The 7 Habits of
Highly Effective People, First Things First and Principle-Centered
Leadership. Dr. Covey holds an undergraduate degree from the
University of Utah, an MBA from Harvard and a Doctorate from
Brigham Young University. He is the recipient of a large number
of awards and recently founded the Covey Leadership Center.
It is 18 years since Stephen Covey open his influential
work in different forms like “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective
People”, which was an enormously outstanding book. In that
book, Dr. Covey exhibited us how to become as effective as we
probably could be. In the 8th Habit, he opens up more potential for
all – by moving from “effectiveness to greatness”. The world today
is different, with more challenges, ambiguity and complexity and
the 7 Habits book gives us a clear explanation of all these problems
but providing deeper clarification in the next step of – the 8th
Habit – The 8th habit of highly effective people is: “Find your
voice and inspire others to do likewise”. This latest habit is not an
add-on to the original seven habits, but represents another

dimension of effectiveness which will enhance the performance of
each of the other seven habits.
The 8th Habit answers so many great questions and that is all about
the human voice. I believe there are some handy tips to be found in
the book. The book is divided into two sections. The first focuses
on “finding your voice” and the second on “inspiring others to find
theirs”.
