I appreciated this reading but felt I needed to find something that better aligned to my own journey into leadership. When our Fellowship Group was given the charge of choosing a book about leadership I had originally chosen “The Life Code” by Dr. When The 7 Habits for Highly Effective Teens (Sean Covey, 1998) came out on the local bookshelves I purchased a class set for the entrepreneurship program I taught.Īs you can tell I was a true advocate for the teachings of Stephen Covey. I did take the time to listen to Stephen Covey podcast and other recommended leadership audio tutorials. This typically equivalates to the occasional stand-up comedy or pop-culture podcast. By that I mean that sometimes I get tired of pouring “knowledge” in and take the occasional daily break with “junk food” for the brain. I am a regular podcast-“er” which is sometimes good and sometimes not-so-good. With book and planner in hand and my brain busting with new information, I felt that I was well-prepared. Covey described “Ture North” as a moral and ethical compass that is timeless and foundational to a leader’s character. Stephen Covey taught us to be more effective in accomplishing our goals by aligning ourselves to the principles of “true north”. I had felt that I was “Covey Ready” to begin my journey into educational leadership. I recall back in 1990’s reading The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989) and consecutively completing a Franklin Covey Planning workshop.
