In my management Workshops at Quanta, we have been exploring the principle of the 8th Habit - Stephen Covey's new sequel to the 7 Habits. The 8th Habit is: Find Your Voice & Inspire Others to Find Theirs.
There are people everywhere who are 'finding their voices'. Here is an example: I really like this guy's attitude and passion for the subject ...
Not only does he speak with conviction, not only does he deliver a compelling message, but he also inspires the audience.
And what a wonderful message he delivers too: the people we ALL work with are Human Beings and they care about people. They don't really care about Share-Holder Value and Profits; over and above what is absolutely necessary. That's not, generally, where their passion is - their passion is for people!
It's time for some of the organisations we work for to wake-up! There is tremendous latent talent and energy within many companies, laying dormant, waiting to be unleashed.
That's why we need more people practising the 8th Habit!
