Harbott’s book is the best explanation of both Business Agility and the challenges of successful organizational change I have seen. He brings to the fore that all agility really is organizational change and then gives a framework for making change that will allow a company to compete in the new digital age with the new tools and challenges that exist.
I’ll be buying the print book to supplement my audio edition.

Many management books concepts can be quickly absorbed and summed up in a few sentences. Most "models" are 90% fluff and 10% substance.

Switch had me jotting notes often. Not conducive to listening while driving or doing the dishes. I stopped taking notes after a bit because I decided I needed to have the physical book. I'll be coming back to this book again and again, so the paper copy will be invaluable.

I have owned 7 Habits for at least ten years. In all that time I don't think I ever made it past the introduction. It took Audible.com for me to finally take the time to listen to this book on being effective

As I listened to Mr. Covey read his own words, I repeatedly chastised myself for taking so long to do so. While the book and Mr. Covey's exact words were new to me, so much of the 7 Habits resonates with my own personal philosophies and project management styles.

Mr. Covey read the book personally and I think this added a lot more to the book. So many of the stories are directly personal that for someone else to read it, the book would lose a lot of credibility. And Mr. Covey's personal anecdotes are a vital part of the success of this book. This isn't just some self-help theory being preached by a consultant. The 7 habits are something developed through Mr. Covey's personal life experiences. The sheer power of example on perspective is strong all by itself. Having the man who personally witnessed the events tell the story makes for an impact you just can't measure.

The seven habits themselves are not something profound or earth shattering. Instead, I would place them into the pantheon of common sense. And we all know how much we humans manage to use common sense. His concept of task management (Part of Habit 3: Put First Things First) makes complete sense and is so easily put into practice. I had a business colleague complain about how his team was constantly behind the eight ball and they just couldn't get far enough ahead of the fires to plan. He'd never read 7 Habits, but I described Mr. Covey's two by two Importance/Urgency matrix to him in a couple of paragraph email. A month later he told me they'd been using it and it done wonders. By taking a little time, they'd discovered a lot of the fires were urgent, but not important.

This book may be twenty-two years old, but the words are still as relevant today as the day Mr. Covey first wrote them.
