Here you have a principal, her name is Muriel Summers, and she sent in to turn around this failing school.

School is about to be shut down, because it's doing so poorly.

Superintendent comes to her and said, he said, I'll give you one more week to come up with a new idea

and she's shocked and she goes well give me another year and he goes no you got a week to come up

the new idea she has a few bucks left in her professional development account she sees Stephen Covey's in town so she

goes to hear him speak.

Hello and welcome to Franklin Covey's on leadership series.

My name is Scott Miller and I'm privileged to serve as your weekly host.

Today joining us live in the studio is the renowned best-selling author and really

leadership visionary Sean Covey.

Sean, welcome to our leadership.

Glad to have you here.

It's good to be here.

My sense is you've probably read most of these, if not more than this,

in your journey.

I've probably skimmed a lot of them.

Yeah, there's a few years up here as well.

I've told you many times, you have been the author,

a prolific author of many books.

In fact, you are the author or co-author of books that have sold over 10 million copies.

I mean that is phenomenal in fact most of them you've offered yourself but what does it like to be sitting at the end of this journey where you

literally started writing every day at five in the morning and wrote till you know you had to go to work
