Stephen Covey - The 8th Habit (Unabridged 8hrs)
The original seven habits of highly successful people are still
relevant, but Covey, author of the mega-bestseller of that title, says
that the new Information/Knowledge Worker Age, exemplified by the
Internet, calls for an eighth habit to achieve personal and
organizational excellence: "Find your voice and inspire others to find
theirs." Covey sees leadership "as a choice to deal with people in a
way that will communicate to them their worth and potential so clearly
they will come to see it in themselves." His holistic approach starts
with developing one's own voice, one's "unique personal significance."
The bulk of the book details how, after finding your own voice, you can
inspire others and create a workplace where people feel engaged. This
includes establishing trust, searching for third alternatives (not a
compromise between your way and my way, but a third, better way) and
developing a shared vision. This book isn't easy going; less business
jargon and more practical examples would have made this livelier and
more helpful. But if organizations operated with Covey's ideas—and
ideals—most people would undoubtedly find work much more satisfying.
The Third Wave
The Third Wave is a book published in 1980 by Alvin Toffler. It is the sequel to Future Shock, published in 1970, and the second in a trilogy that was completed with Powershift in 1990.
The transition from the earlier hunter-gatherer societies to the agrarian and agricultural societies is also known as the Neolithic Revolution. This coincides with the transition from the Mesolithic era to the Neolithic era (respectively, the Middle and Late Stone Age). The transition from the Paleolithic to the Mesolithic (Early to Middle Stone Age), in turn, largely coincides with the emergence of the modern Homo sapiens from earlier, related archaic human species.
Nearly extinct in the present-day world, hunter-gatherer societies
(which one might term the "0th Wave" societies) are not recognized in
Toffler's scheme. Similarly, in the classical Three-age system, distinctions are recognized between the Stone Age era Bronze Age, Iron Age,
the boundary between the latter two c. 1300-1200 BC being as dramatic
as that demarcating Toffler's waves. None of these phases are clearly
recognized in the Toffler scheme, in part due to the prevalence of the
latter phase amongst present-day pre-industrial societies.
The transition from Toffler's First Wave and Second Wave is sometimes also recognized as a transition from the Iron Age to the Steel Age. At present, there is no clear delineation of the latest transition, though sometimes the term Post-industrial society, originating from Daniel Bell, is used, in addition to Toffler's "Third Wave society".
