Die sieben Wege zur Effektivität ist nicht geeignet für diejenigen, die den schnellen Weg zum Erfolg suchen. Die von Covey vorgestellten Konzepte sind oft komplex und können nicht von heute auf morgen erlernt erlernt werden. Im Laufe der Lektüre werden Sie sich wahrscheinlich so manche wichtige Passagen unterstreichen oder Anmerkungen machen und am Ende werden Sie das Gefühl haben, einen wichtigen Kurs bei Covey besucht zu haben. --Joan Price

As with many self-help books, much of what you read here is based on basic common sense and can at times be irritatingly obvious. However, what Covey manages to do so successfully is to break down the barriers which prevent all of us from taking a long hard look at ourselves, and then gradually introduces new rules which allow us to move first from dependence to independence and then towards the ultimate goal of interdependence. But of course, the only real way to test the value of The Habits--be proactive, begin with the end in mind, put first things first, think "win/win", seek first to understand and then to be understood, synergise, sharpen the saw-- is to work on them. This book is as good as any place to start on the road to self-awareness and self-improvement in the workplace and in the home without becoming too irritatingly smug and self-satisfied. --Susan Harrison
