Living Leadership 5 out of 5 stars.
2 of 3 people found this review helpful.

Leadership: Great Leaders, Great Team, Great Results. This is an audio only presentation that is a sample introduction to a 20 hour three or five day training session that Franklin Covey does throughout the country. This may be meant as a promotional piece for the trainings, but is a very interesting and usable stand alone collection of Leadership development lessons.

The theme of this Audio presentation is to introduce a whole person leadership approach to leading. The presentation is a call to great leadership, leadership that inspires people in organization to become great organization with winning streaks. It is meant to take a tool set approach to have a participant develop a vision for great leadership and a paradigm for leadership in a knowledge centered world with a framework of systems and processes by explaining the skills and tools to enable great leadership. This is a modern view of leadership that gives you examples of how it works and dispels the old school methods of command, control, power of using only a couple of strong individuals to lead.

This is very informative and packed with a lot of leadership principles and examples. The part I took to heart is the journey to execution. The journey of execution starts with developing meaningful goals or WIGS as it calls them, wildly important goals. The second step in this execution is to have lead measures for actions. It gives examples of keeping a compelling scoreboard. Once you have those in place it all creates a cadence of accountability in a way that is engaging of the team. All of this execution is done with a synergy of engaging the team. The 80/20 rule is explained, which is something that I have applied in other disciplines (like software development), 20 percent of the effort will produce 80 percent of the results. It challenges to ask, what 20 percent of things or tasks should your team be focusing on to achieve your WIGS.

If you are not a normal listener to audio books or presentations, do not worry, this is one you can listen to. This presentation has more that seven presenters. It is filled with many dramas, examples and readers. This is a first rate production with drama, background music, sports examples, real life stories, not just a reading.

Definitely an encouraging and personally challenging collection of examples and stories of how big and little things (being a trim tab in your organization is one example) can make an impact.

I strongly recommend this for anyone in business or in an organization that has the desire to make a difference in the organization that they serve (oops work) in. I listened to it twice, because I liked it, but also to get as much out of it and have the ability to apply it, really apply and implement it.

Editorial Review:

Great organizations are created by great leaders—leaders who can unleash the highest and best contribution of their team toward their organizations’ most critical strategic priorities.

 

Leadership: Great Leaders, Great Teams, Great Results is FranklinCovey’s flagship leadership-development program. It takes a “mind-set, skill-set, tool-set” approach to developing leaders who can unleash the talent and capability of their team against the organization’s highest priorities.

 

In addition to drawing from a proven legacy of developing effective leaders, Stephen Covey also taps into the best thinking of well-known leadership experts, including:

 

Fred Reichheld, The Ultimate Question; Clayton Christensen, The Innovator’s Dilemma; and Stephen M.R. Covey, The Speed of Trust. This powerful audio program addresses the specific challenges leaders face every day including:

Great Overview of Franklin Covey Principles 5 out of 5 stars.
59 of 60 people found this review helpful.

During my initial first few minutes of listening I realized that Stephen Covey wasn't the main speaker on this tape (he narrates some sections). Suddenly I thought maybe the quality would be mediocre. That this would be some cranked out product just to make a buck. I was wrong. I listened to all 3 CD's (the 4th is a computer demo) and enjoyed the presentation highly.

Steve Jones is the person who gives presentation. I believe it is a recorded live process. What I liked about this alot is it covered all of the Franklin Covey time management principles in a very focussed manner (hence the title...??).

This CD series serves as an excellent refresher or introduction to the principles of managing your time. They introduce the time quadrants and explain in pretty good detail how to use paper, PDA or computer planners to manage your time. The sessions never bog down in any one area and they move from topic to topic at just about the right pace.

Obviously this CD set has some ties to the services and courses offered by Franklin Covey. They'd love it if you registered for the full course or bought a $200 planner/binder. However the course on tape/CD will standalone quite well. The speaker is clear and has a good delivery. I enjoyed this and found the time passed quickly (which doesn't always happen) as I was listening. Buy this - you won't be sorry!

Editorial Review:

With this audiobook, you will begin a process and journey to a new way of thinking about personal and professional focus and accomplishment.

Covey and master facilitator Steve Jones introduce you to the FranklinCovey workshop that has already helped 10 million people become more productive.

Editorial Review:

This fascinating book by Rebecca Linder Hintze powerfully and effectively communicates a key, and sometimes overlooked, piece of the puzzle relating to family dynamics. For example, have you ever wondered why some families reach a ceiling on their earning potential, struggle to have happy marriages, or have such difficult interactions with their siblings and parents? Perhaps your family has a history of sabotaging careers or thwarting their love relationships? Healing Your Family History explains that most of our individual issues originate from family blocks.

As you read this book, you’ll come to understand how family belief systems store inside you and prevent individual growth by locking you into thought processes that hold you back. All families have these nonverbal belief systems, and unless you understand and heal your inherent blocks, it may be difficult to love others, move forward, and get what you want in life.

Most people have a family . . . and we all have a reason to heal our related challenges—after all, tribal issues sit at the core of world turmoil. Those who are truly ready to heal their family dysfunction will benefit immensely from this book!

Editorial Review:

Focus on the Critical

In business, survival depends on meeting objectives. Most failures in organizations today are not the result of a lack of smarts, they are caused by a lack of execution -- things just don't get done. Defining a clear strategy and setting goals is one thing, sticking to strategy and meeting those goals is quite another. The 4 Disciplines of Execution teaches how to focus on your top priorities and get the critical things accomplished. Whether you are a member of a team, lead a team, or lead an entire organization, this workshop will equip you to deliver on your top priorities consistently.

What You'll Learn

Four universal business disciplines that deliver results again and again:

a. Focus on the Wildly Important
b. Create a Compelling Scoreboard
c. Translate Lofty Goals into Specific Actions
d. Hold Each Other Accountable -- All of the Time

Each discipline includes a business principle, old thinking, new thinking, and a metaphor that further clarifies the learning. A bonus section, "Implementing the Disciplines," supported by a special resource CD, gives critical information about activating the power of the 4 Disciplines in your organization.

Nutshell review - a good book extending and further discussing a primary habit explained in 7 habits of Highly Effective People by the same author. Worth reading but perhaps a bit long winded.

This is a total rip-off!

I've read 7 Habits of Highly Effective People a number of times and thought this was going to be a kind of support book - things to concentrate on different days or weeks, a bit of how-to - but no. This is a blank journal with a few quotes from 7 Habits (and related books) interspersed. If you have 7 Habits or some other related Covey book, you already know everything that is printed in this journal. Just go to Officeworks or OfficeMax and buy a blank notebook for 79 cents. Job done.

After buying some expensive Franklin Covey software a few years ago that caused catastrophic crashes on my computer (and I understand I'm far from the only one), with no support from Franklin Covey at all, it took until now to try another Covey product. Unfortunately, I got burned again with this lazy, misleading effort.

Save your money. As for you, Stephen Covey, you should be embarrassed.
