The world has changed dramatically since the classic, internationally bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was published, influencing tens of millions. The challenges and complexity we all face in our relationships, families, professional lives and communities are of an entirely new order of magnitude. In order to thrive, innovate, excel and lead in what Covey calls the new Knowledge Worker Age, we must build on and move beyond effective-ness... to greatness.

Accessing the higher levels of human genius and motivation in today's new reality requires a sea change of new thinking—a new mind-set, a new skill-set, a new tool-set—in short, a whole new habit.
