Author : Stephen R. Covey

Stephen R. Covey, a famous American management guru, was named one of Time magazine’s “25 Most Influential Americans.” Covey’s influence stemmed from his work as a contemporary thinker and teacher of human potential. He is the author of management classics such as The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, The 3rd Alternative: Solving Life's Most Difficult Problems, and Principle-Centered Leadership. This book's co-authors, A. Roger Merrill and Rebecca R. Merrill, provide many valuable real-life examples.

Key Insights from First Things First

  • The most important aspect of time management is prioritizing tasks based on what truly matters to you, rather than simply responding to urgency. Covey emphasizes aligning daily actions with long-term values and goals to achieve personal and professional effectiveness.
  • Effective delegation involves identifying tasks that can be entrusted to others, allowing for a greater focus on high-priority responsibilities. Covey advocates for empowering team members while fostering a culture of accountability and trust.
  • To create a more balanced life, it is essential to actively plan each dimension of life: physical, social, emotional, mental, and spiritual. Covey suggests scheduling time in all these areas to maintain holistic well-being and productivity.
