I myself attended several courses of leadership development and management skills and techniques . Usually I found that most of these courses are merely toolkits and address limited part of the whole array of leadership and management with detachment from personal and family life . This kind of feeling had been with me until I had an unplanned opportunity to attend Dr . Covey ’ s The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People course . His course has changed my feeling about leadership and management and is very useful to my work-live balance . Thanks for the change .
Actually , I had heard about Dr . Covey for a long time ( before I attended the course ), but did not seem to pay attention until I joined
the course . Although I did not know him personally , I can learn from his work that he is a great person . His demise is a loss , not only to his family and friends ,
but also to the mankind .
