Stephen Covey
With his pioneering work in Principle-Centered Leadership, Stephen R. Covey is widely acknowledged as one of the world's leading authorities on empowerment. Thousands of organizations worldwide-including more than 150 of the Fortune 500-have adopted his innovative techniques on quality, leadership, innovation, trust, teamwork, customer-focused service and organizational alignment. His audio book, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People is a Nightingale Conant best-seller. Stephen has recently published The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness.
Dr. Covey earned his undergraduate degree from the University of Utah, his MBA from Harvard, and completed his doctorate at Brigham Young University. While at Brigham Young University, he served as assistant to the president and was also a professor of business management and organizational behavior.
His many awards include the Thomas More College Medallion for continued service to humanity and the Mc-Feely Award from the International Management Council for significant contributions to management and education. He also received the National Fatherhood Award in 2003, which, as the father of 9 and grandfather of 43, he says is the most meaningful award he has ever received.
Dr. Covey currently serves on the board of directors for the Points of Light Foundation. Based in Washington, D.C., the Foundation, through its partnership with the Volunteer Center National Network, engages and mobilizes millions of volunteers from all walks of life—businesses, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, low-income communities, families, youth, and older adults—to help solve serious social problems in thousands of communities.
