SALT LAKE CITY -- (Business Wire)
Franklin
Covey Co. (NYSE: FC) today announced the launch of its newly
re-created and updated The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People® Signature Edition 4.0 work
session, which includes the new Living the 7 Habits™ app for iOS
and Android
users.

Highly Effective People Signature Edition 4.0 solution to understand
how The 7 Habits can be implemented within an organization to
help individuals and teams become more effective. To register visit www.franklincovey.com/7htour/
or call 1-800-235-1706.)
The release of the new work session marks 25 years of Franklin Covey
helping thousands of organizations and millions of people around the
world to improve their effectiveness, as they have learned, applied and
lived the 7 Habits, both personally and professionally.
“The 7 Habits work session can be the foundation for transforming
any culture into a ‘winning culture,’” said Bob Whitman, CEO, Franklin
Covey Co. “Culture is an organization’s most powerful, competitive
advantage. But, winning cultures don’t happen by accident. They are
intentionally created by leaders who engage their employees’ hearts,
minds and talents around the organization’s values and priorities, and
do so in a way that allows them to achieve even better results in the
future. With the 7 Habits as the framework and ‘the operating
system,’ people at every level in any organization can learn to lead
themselves and work more effectively with others to achieve critical
objectives. Institutionalizing the 7 Habits can have a tremendous
effect on the results organizations achieve, every day.”
The 7 Habits work session is based on content from The
7 Habits of Highly Effective People, authored by Stephen Covey,
which is considered one of the most profound and impactful books ever
written on personal effectiveness, leadership development and change.
This year marks the 25th anniversary of the publishing of The
7 Habits book, which has sold more than 25 million copies in 52
languages worldwide.
What differentiates The 7 Habits from other leadership work
sessions is its unique, proprietary content, which has global appeal,
and is an inside-out approach to leadership development. The principles
taught in the work session are universal, timeless, cross-cultural and
have been widely accepted, as such. The work session was specifically
designed to not only help participants learn the 7 Habits, but to
use the processes and tools so they actually live the 7 Habits on
a daily basis, becoming more effective leaders.
“The 7 Habits work session aligns timeless principles of
effectiveness with modern technology and practices,” said Catherine
Nelson, Vice President, Leadership and Customer Loyalty Practices,
Franklin Covey. “Regardless of their individual competence, employees
will not have sustained and lasting success unless they are able to
effectively lead themselves, and influence, engage and collaborate with
others, as well as continuously improve and renew their capabilities.
These elements are at the heart of individual, team and organizational
effectiveness.”
The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Signature Edition 4.0 Work Session
More relevant than ever, The 7 Habits work session contains the
proven 7 Habits personal leadership operating system. It develops
leadership effectiveness at three levels:
Individual: Develops
increased maturity, greater productivity and the ability to manage one’s
self, as well as the ability to execute critical priorities with
laser-like focus and careful planning.
Team:Increases team
engagement, morale, collaboration, improved communication skills, and
strengthened relationships.
Organizational: Creates a
framework for creating a highly effective culture, as well as developing
current and high-potential leaders that model both competence and
character.
The work session drives organizational success by helping participants
gain the paradigms
and practices of effective people (leaders). It was developed with
an intense focus on helping participants internalize and sustain the
following 20 Practices that change the way teams work together:
