everything

abuses

71. Stephen Coveyâs â8th Habitâ
Going beyond effectiveness to greatness
âFind your voice and inspire
others to find theirsâ
71
72. â8th Habitâ Opportunity
I can go to any group, and I do it all the time, all over the world, and I
ask a simple question: âHow many honestly believe that the vast
majority of the workforce in your organizations possess more talent,
more intelligence, more capability, more creativity, more resourcefulness
than their present jobs require or even allow them to use?â Literally,
almost everyone raises their handsâŚ. Think of the loss of what we could
call âvoice,â of peopleâs intelligence, capability, creativity. And yet I
can ask the next question: ⌠âHow many feel pressured to produce
more for less?â and you know what, the same amount of hands go up.
Now just put those two questions together: Here thereâs this enormous
capability and talent and intelligence, and also this great pressure to
produce more for less, and theyâre not able to even use it.
-- Stephen Covey

itâs a vulnerability.â
