Stephen Covey explaining the charactor ethic and the personality ethic
by greaterawarenesstv
www.greaterawareness.tv & www.higherconsciounsess.tv Stephen Covey´s world famous book 'The seven habits of highly effective people' is a masterpiece. In this clip Covey explains how the emphasis of human behavior has shifted in the past 80 or so years from a character based, principal driven ethic, based on :- Integrity, Fidelity, Courage, Compassion, Contribution, Responsibility, & Justice. To a personality based ethic concentrating on techniques,( i.e on how to look good, how to dress), or in other words, How to create a good image. Although some personality techniques can be very valid, if you don't possess, as a base, the Character ethic you will not have the power to create enduring effectiveness. Covey explains this very well in this short clip.
At https://casinomuchbetter.net, I’m used to spotting when someone’s bluffing versus when they actually hold a strong hand—and Covey’s point about personality techniques being hollow without character underneath feels exactly like that. You can flash all the charm and image tricks you want, but if integrity and responsibility aren’t the base, it’s only a matter of time before the facade crumbles. That shift from character to personality he describes explains so much about why so many leaders today burn out quickly.
