Stephen R. Covey, el llamado Sócrates americano, ni da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonearnos. Su método es claro, certero y eficiente: siete etapas que el lector deberá asimilar y poner en práctica por su cuenta, adaptándolas a su personalidad y aplicándolas en todos los ámbitos de su vida. El autor se sirve de anécdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la visión personal hasta la renovación equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo y la administración personales, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicación empática y la cooperación creativa. Gracias a esto y a través del desarrollo de conceptos clave, el lector podrá comprender que todo lo que hacemos debe concordar con lo que verdaderamente captamos de la realidad que nos rodea.

Con los originales consejos de Sean Covey sobre cómo aplicar los hábitos en nuestra era moderna, la sabiduría de Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva se actualiza para dar vida a una nueva generación de líderes.ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
To commemorate the 30th anniversary of its publication, at Paidós we publish a new revised and updated edition of the most transcendental book in the history of management.
Almost everyone senses that they could improve their behavior, both at work and in their private life, but few know how to achieve it.
Stephen R. Covey, the so-called American Socrates, neither gives paternalistic advice nor preaches to us. His method is clear, accurate and efficient: seven stages that the reader must assimilate and put into practice on their own, adapting them to their personality and applying them in all areas of their life. The author uses penetrating and significant anecdotes designed to make us reflect on each of our actions and on how to access change, true effectiveness: from personal vision to balanced renewal, including personal leadership and administration., interpersonal leadership, empathetic communication and creative cooperation. Thanks to this and through the development of key concepts, the reader will be able to understand that everything we do must agree with what we truly grasp about the reality that surrounds us. Therefore, if we want to change a situation, we must change ourselves and to do so it is necessary that we also change our perceptions. In this way we will be able to develop our self-confidence, our character, our integrity, our honesty and our dignity to transform our work universe into something authentic and non-transferable. With Sean Covey's original advice on how to apply habits in our modern era, the wisdom of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is updated to bring to life a new generation of leaders.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
From the multimillion-copy bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Dr. Stephen R. Covey illustrates how his principles of leadership can be applied to children of all ages.
In today's world, we are inundated with information about who to be, what to do, and how to live. But what if there was a way to learn not just what to think about, but how to think? A program that taught young people how to manage priorities, focus on goals, and be a positive influence in their schools?
The Leader in Me is that program. In this bestseller, Stephen R. Covey took the 7 Habits that have already changed the lives of millions of readers and showed that even young children can use them as they develop. These habits are being adapted by schools around the country in leadership programs, most famously at the A.B Combs Elementary school in Raleigh. Not only do the programs work, but they work better than anyone could have imagined. This book is full of examples of how the students blossom under the program--from the classroom that decided to form a support group for one of their classmates who had behavioral problems to the fourth grader who overcame his fear of public speaking and took his class to see him compete in a national story telling competition.
PPerfect for individuals and corporations alike, The Leader in Me shows how easy it is to incorporate these skills into daily life so kids of all ages can be more effective, goal-oriented, and successful.
If you follow this simple process, I promise that you will see positive changes in your relationships and find a higher level of personal satisfaction in your life. ―Sean Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens
