Books by Stephen R. Covey

Stephen R. Covey (1932–2012) was an American educator, author, and businessman who spent his career studying and writing about principles of effectiveness and character. His best-known work, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People (1989), has sold more than forty million copies and remains one of the most widely assigned management books. First Things First, published in 1994 with Roger and Rebecca Merrill, extends the Habits framework specifically to time and priority management. Covey founded the Covey Leadership Center, which later merged with Franklin Quest to form FranklinCovey.
