Stephen Covey The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People

A strong tool to achieve your goals In this rapidly changing world there is an implicit power which helps people accomplish their goals. Being created from social norms, dreams and life goals a mission statement aims to provoke self- confidence and show the exact way to success. It leads people and organizations always be conscious and gain a strong willpower. While Stephen Covey defined what a personal and organizational mission statement is and why people create it, Daniel Pink, Amy Wrzesnievsky and Barry Schwartz, along with some assumptions of Stephen Covey guided how to form and use it.

As Stephen Covey stated in his “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People” book, a mission statement can be called a personal constitution (1990, page
