y. The eighth habit is: "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs." This book is a must read for all of you who see yourselves as leaders. Dr. Covey presents some disturbing statistics that demonstrate that most of us are not in the choir.

Dr. Covey puts it into perspective when he imagines if a soccer team had these scores:
Only four of the eleven players would know which goal was theirs.
Only two of the eleven would care.
Only two would know which position they play.
Nine of the players would in some way be competing against their own team.
