<p>If one isn't interested in unleashing the potential of others and enjoying what they make of it, one might as well <em>sing</em> in the shower only.</p>

<p>And, as we all learn to listen, understand, and express our views, we will become increasingly able to coordinate the way we seek live our lives -- and then collaborate in doing so. As I see it, such coordination and collaboration will move us in the direction sought by the Occupy Movement.</p>

<p>Finding one's own voice and inspiring others to find theirs sounds good. As I see it, ideally that will be balanced with finding our own ears and inspiring others to find theirs. As I remember it, one of the 7 habits reflected this, that is "Seek first to understand."</p>

<p>It is on the diagram: <em>Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs</em>. Voice = unique personal significance.</p>
<p>The book's title is, sadly (IMO), deceptive. Rather than one more habit, the eighth is an upgrade of the original set of seven. Anyone can read the newer book first.</p>

<p>As I see it, Russell and the diagram from Covey's 8th habit are highly aligned. </p>
<p>What is the 8th Habit. I used to do workshops on the 7 Habits, but have lost track of what Covey has been doing. It might be worth a new Discussion site. </p>

<p>2) For governments, serving SELF-interest has meant serving what is perceived as their nation's interest (which is sometimes subordinated to the interests of powerful individuals and corporations). [For example, the Bali conference on climate change involved the United States' representative asserting that "The United States will lead. But leadership also requires others to fall in line and follow.]</p>

<p>1) For most corporations (in the U.S.) this has meant serving the purpose of "maximizing profit for STOCKHOLDERS" as required by the state-granted charters that give them life. [In this connection, it is important to note that in some cases senior managers have subordinated that purpose to serving their own SELF-interests. For example, the share of corporate income given to senior executives has increased substantially over the last ten years.</p>

<p>In our past , evolution has been guided by "survival of the fittest." Generally this has meant each "being" in the world motivated and guided by pursuit of its own survival and its own SELF-interest (with little or no concern for the interests of other beings).</p>
<p>Of particular influence in the evolution of our global human system has been the emergence of corporations and governments (and the political systems which underlie them).</p>
