Dr. Stephen R. Covey, author of a series of best-selling self-
\nhelp and management books including The 7 Habits of Highly
\nEffective People does not always practice what he preaches.<\/p>\n
Illustrating the importance of listening in being effective,
\nthe 71-year-old management training guru recently told The
\nJakarta Post: \"You have two ears, two eyes and one mouth. You
\nshould only speak 20 percent (of the time).\" This was after he
\nhad spoken in a seminar for almost five hours with only a short
\nbreak for lunch.<\/p>\n
True, there was a good reason for Dr. Covey, vice chairman of
\nthe U.S.-based global professional services firm Franklin Covey,
\nto break his own rule.<\/p>",
