Biography

Stephen R. Covey (Salt Lake City, 24 oktober 1932 – Idaho Falls, 16 juli 2012) was een Amerikaans auteur. Hij schreef onder andere de bestseller The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.

Biografie

Covey leefde met zijn vrouw Sandra en familie in Provo (Utah), waar ook de Brigham Young Universiteit is gevestigd. Covey was praktiserend lid van de Mormoonse kerk, waarvoor hij twee jaar in Engeland missioneerde. Dr. Covey gaf les aan de universiteit voordat hij succes had na het uitbrengen van zijn boek. Hij was vader van negen kinderen en grootvader van 52 kleinkinderen. In 2003 ontving hij de vaderschapsprijs van het 'National Fatherhood Initiative'. Hij overleed op 16 juli 2012 als gevolg van complicaties na een fietsongeval in april 2012.

Zeven eigenschappen

Volgens Covey was, tot de Eerste Wereldoorlog, succes vanuit een principiële levenshouding vooral samen te vatten in begrippen als nederigheid, integriteit, gematigdheid, trouw en geduld.

Na de Eerste Wereldoorlog werd succes door een meer pragmatische levenshouding anders gedefinieerd. Succes wordt vooral afgemeten aan persoonlijke prestatie, vaardigheden en status.
