Är du en av alla de chefer som kämpar med exekvering, att få medarbetarna att ändra gamla invanda beteenden och göra det som krävs för att nå det mest kritiska målet? Det finns bara två saker som du som ledare och chef kan påverka för att skapa resultat: Din strategi, det vill säga din plan, och din förmåga att exekvera den strategin, att få det som är allra viktigast att verkligen hända. Det är inte förvånande att exekvering är det som chefer brottas allra mest med. Mer förvånande är att de inte tränas mer i det som är allra svårast. Efter att ha jobbat med många chefer, ledningsgrupper och organisationer i alla typer av branscher och organisationer har författarna till De 4 Disciplinerna för exekvering samlat sina viktigaste lärdomar om vad som krävs för att få människor att nå organisationens allra mest angelägna mål. I boken får du ta del av det ramverk som tusentals ledare och medarbetare använder idag för att skapa önskade resultat. En metod som fungerar, gång efter gång, år efter år. De 4 Disciplinerna för exekvering var den mest sålda ledarskapsoken i USA 2012, och den mest sålda boken i Japan under 2015.

Groundbreaking and universal, Stephen Covey's THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE has been one of the most popular motivational books of all time. Now Stephen's son, Sean, has transformed this bestselling message into a life-changing book for young people and their parents. At a time when everything from planning what to wear to a party to dealing with an alcoholic friend can seem overwhelming and complex, THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE TEENAGERS will bring a special perspective and focus to the lives of young people everywhere. Sean Covey speaks directly to teenagers in a language they can really understand and relate to, addressing the issues that concern them most: relationships, parents, peers, life choices, concerns for the future, and even larger questions about life, death, and the human condition. Just some of the wisdom readers will find in this meaningful guide.

Sean Covey's wildly popular "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens" was one of the first teen success guides ever, and has become a timeless classic read by millions of teens all over the world. Now, in "The 6 Most Important Decisions You'll Ever Make", Covey goes into even greater depth in helping teens figure out how to approach the six major challenges they face: gaining self-esteem; dealing with their parents; making friends; being wise about sex; coping with substances; and succeeding at school and planning a career. Covey speaks directly to the pain and confusion that teens and their parents experience in the face of these weighty, life-changing, and extremely common difficulties. Friendly and upbeat as ever, he shows them how to use the 7 Habits to cope with, manage, and ultimately conquer each challenge - and become happier, more productive people.

Based on his father's bestselling The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, Sean Covey applies the same principles to teens, using a vivacious, entertaining style. To keep it fun, Covey writes, he "stuffed it full of cartoons, clever ideas, great quotes, and incredible stories about real teens from all over the world . . . along with a few other surprises." Did he ever! Flip open to any page and become instantly absorbed in real-life stories of teens who have overcome obstacles to succeed, and step-by-step guides to shifting paradigms, building equity in "relationship bank accounts," creating action plans, and much more. As a self-acknowledged guinea pig for many of his dad's theories, Sean Covey is a living example of someone who has taken each of the seven habits to heart: be proactive; begin with the end in mind; put first things first; think win-win; seek first to understand, then to be understood; synergize; and sharpen the saw. He includes a comical section titled "The 7 Habits of Highly Defective Teens," which includes some, shall we say, counterproductive practices: put first things last; don't cooperate; seek first to talk, then pretend to listen; wear yourself out . . . Covey's humorous and up-front style is just light enough to be acceptable to wary teenagers, and down-and-dirty enough to really make a difference.
