Covey (1932-2012) was an internationally respected leadership authority, family expert, teacher, organizational consultant, and author.

"A most compelling approach for addressing the most challenging
issues of the day. It is an inarguable formula for success in the
corporate world and beyond."
--Douglas R. Conant, retired CEO, Campbell Soup Company, and New
York Times bestselling author
"Dr. Covey has done it again. The 3rd Alternative is not only
powerful reading--it answers some of life's most challenging
questions. A must-read for all future leaders."
--Jon M. Huntsman, Sr.
"Even in our conflicted times, now and again we catch a glimpse of
the better thing. Dr. Covey shows us how to seek that better thing
and transcend our deepest disputes."
--Archbishop Desmond Tutu
"In The 3rd Alternative, Dr. Covey inspires us to think differently
about solving problems than we ever have before. We must set aside
our differences, including our boundaries, languages, economics,
politics and cultures and work hand in hand together to create
solutions which are greater than the problems we now face."
--Muhammad Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner 2006
"In The 3rd Alternative, Stephen Covey urges us to chart a course
beyond the suboptimal solutions to all our crises - beyond left and
right, and beyond the many false choices in front of us. The 3rd
Alternative is a wise and welcome echo of Einstein's warning that
the problems we're facing today cannot be solved by the same level
of thinking that created them."
--Arianna Huffington, president and editor-in-chief of the AOL
Huffington Post Media Group
"In this book, Covey reaches out way beyond his familiar domain, to
the Universe, and has come up with a social vaccine capable of
addressing if not resolving the existential agonies and angst that
we all face, as individuals and to the organizations and societies
that we live and work in. In this Olympiad vault, Covey has written
his most ambitious and hopeful book, in my own view, a masterpiece
to benefit all of us doing our best to live in peace and justice in
this messy world."
--Warren Bennis, Distinguished Professor of Management, University
of Southern California and author of the memoir, Still
Surprised
"Once again, Stephen Covey has nailed it. In this latest book, he
offers meaningful advice for navigating life's toughest challenges.
It's not about 'my way, ' or 'your way, ' but seeking out 'our
way.'"
--J.W. Marriott, Jr., Chairman & CEO of Marriott International,
Inc.
"You can 'get' Stephen Covey's message in five pages--or less. But
I dearly hope you will carefully read and apply every page. Stephen
has given us a precious gift--but, like most profound ideas, it is
the daily, conscious practice that can or will transform your
life."--Tom Peters, author of The Brand You 50 and Re-imagine:
Business Excellence in a Disruptive Age
