The 7 Habits’ author Stephen Covey dies |The Salt Lake Tribune
Stephen R. Covey, a former Brigham Young University
business management professor who catapulted to fame and fortune with the
publication in 1989 of his book "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People," has
died.
Covey died early Monday morning at the Eastern Idaho
Regional Medical Center in Idaho Falls from the residual effects of a bicycle
accident in April, his family said. He was 80 years old.
Covey, who after his early success went on to write a
string of books playing off the "7 Habits" themes that reportedly sold more than
20 million copies in 38 languages, became a management guru for companies and
government agencies. He was named to Time magazine’s top 25 most influential
Americans of 1996 and "The 7 Habits" made several lists as one of the most
influential business books ever.
In 2011, Covey was ranked 47th in the Thinkers 50 list of
world’s Top 50 business thinkers.
