Book of the Week: The 7 Habits
This book of the week is outside of the realm of finance, but we can assure you that the lessons within the book are essential to being successful in your finance career. To develop our career development workshops we interview many leaders in the finance sector and without a doubt the most successful professionals in the City practice the ‘habits’ outlined in this book.
The book is called The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Note that it’s about ‘effective’ people and not efficient people - somebody can be very efficient but will be completely ineffective if they’re doing the wrong thing.
So what is ‘The 7 Habits’ about and how can it help you in your career?
At Benedix we stress the importance of thinking long-term. Many people will focus solely on getting their next job, but it’s always important to think about what you’ll be doing in that job and how you want to progress within the role. “The 7 Habits”, while equally applicable to your personal life, is a bible for success in business - start practicing the 7 habits and you’ll find you can make things happen and get what you want in your career.
We can’t explain the 7 habits as well as Dr Stephen Covey does, so if you want to rise to the top of your career ladder, snap up a copy of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People!
PS. All the books on our bookstore are delivered by Amazon, so you get a nice discount on them as well!
