An inspirational and practical guide to leadership from the New York Times–bestselling author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Covey, named one of Time magazine’s 25 Most Influential Americans, is a renowned authority on leadership, whose insightful advice has helped millions. In his follow-up to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, he poses these fundamental questions: How do we as individuals and organizations survive and thrive amid tremendous change? Why are efforts to improve falling so short in real results? How do we unleash the creativity, talent, and energy within ourselves and others? Is it realistic to believe that balance among personal and professional life is possible? The key to dealing with the challenges that we face is to identify a principle-centered core within ourselves and our institutions. In Principle-Centered Leadership, Covey outlines a long-term, inside-out approach to developing people and organizations. Offering insights and guidelines on how to apply these principles both at work and at home, Covey posits that these steps will lead not only to an increase in productivity and quality of work, but also to a new appreciation of personal and professional relationships as we strive to enjoy a more balanced, rewarding, and ultimately more effective life. “There seems to be no limit to the number of writers offering answers to the great perplexities of life. Covey, however, is the North Star in this field . . . without hesitation, strongly recommended.” —Library Journal

Casi todo el mundo intuye que podría mejorar su comportamiento, tanto en el trabajo como en la vida privada, pero pocos saben cómo conseguirlo. Stephen R. Covey, el llamado Sócrates americano, ni da consejos paternalistas ni se dedica a sermonearnos. Su método es claro, certero y eficiente: siete etapas que el lector deberá asimilar y poner en práctica por su cuenta, adaptándolas a su personalidad y aplicándolas en todos los ámbitos de su vida. El autor se sirve de anécdotas penetrantes y significativas destinadas a hacernos reflexionar sobre cada uno de nuestros actos y sobre el modo de acceder al cambio, a la verdadera efectividad: desde la visión personal hasta la renovación equilibrada, pasando por el liderazgo y la administración personales, el liderazgo interpersonal, la comunicación empática y la cooperación creativa. Gracias a esto y a través del desarrollo de conceptos clave, el lector podrá comprender que todo lo que hacemos debe concordar con lo que verdaderamente captamos de la realidad que nos rodea. Por tanto, si queremos modificar una situación, deberemos cambiarnos a nosotros mismos y para ello es necesario que cambiemos también nuestras percepciones. Así lograremos desarrollar nuestra autoconfianza, nuestro carácter, nuestra integridad, nuestra honestidad y nuestra dignidad para transformar nuestro universo laboral en algo auténtico e intransferible. Con los originales consejos de Sean Covey sobre cómo aplicar los hábitos en nuestra era moderna, la sabiduría de Los 7 hábitos de la gente altamente efectiva se actualiza para dar vida a una nueva generación de líderes.

In Hydraulic City Nikhil Anand explores the politics of Mumbai's water infrastructure to demonstrate how citizenship emerges through the continuous efforts to control, maintain, and manage the city's water. Through extensive ethnographic fieldwork in Mumbai's settlements, Anand found that Mumbai's water flows, not through a static collection of pipes and valves, but through a dynamic infrastructure built on the relations between residents, plumbers, politicians, engineers, and the 3,000 miles of pipe that bind them. In addition to distributing water, the public water network often reinforces social identities and the exclusion of marginalized groups, as only those actively recognized by city agencies receive legitimate water services. This form of recognition—what Anand calls "hydraulic citizenship"—is incremental, intermittent, and reversible. It provides residents an important access point through which they can make demands on the state for other public services such as sanitation and education. Tying the ways Mumbai's poorer residents are seen by the state to their historic, political, and material relations with water pipes, the book highlights the critical role infrastructures play in consolidating civic and social belonging in the city.
