Episode 9 - The 7 Habits (Part 1): The Foundation of Effectiveness

We begin our multi-part series on Stephen R. Covey’s monumental work, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. In this first installment, our hosts introduce the foundational principles of the book. The conversation explores Covey’s "character ethic" versus the "personality ethic" and his powerful model of the "Maturity Continuum." We unpack the fundamental paradigm shifts required to move from dependence to independence and ultimately to interdependence. This episode is not about simple productivity hacks; it is a guide to the deep, principle-centered approach that is required to build a life of true effectiveness. Join us as we lay the groundwork for understanding this timeless classic.
