Principle-Centered Leadership
by Stephen R. Covey
Covey's leadership book between the 7 Habits and First Things First: character ethic applied to organisations, four levels (personal, interpersonal, managerial, organisational), and the thirty methods of influence. Dense, principled and less polished than the 7 Habits.
Read it if…
you want Covey applied to leading an organisation.

Skip it if…
you found the 7 Habits heavy; this is heavier.

Three things you will actually use
- Trustworthiness precedes trust.
- Leadership is from the inside out.
- Principles are the compass; practices are the map.
Do this first
Read the thirty methods of influence and pick three to practise.
Our verdict
Covey, organisational.
