"The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness is a book written by Stephen R. Covey, published in 2004.[1] It is an upgrade of The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, first published in 1989. As such, it clarifies and reinforces Covey's earlier declaration that "Interdependence is a higher value than independence."
The eighth habit is "Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs."
Voice is Covey's code for "unique personal significance."
Those who inspire others to find theirs are the leaders needed now and for the future, according to Covey."

"‘VOICE’ is about unique, personal significance! Covey says, “VOICE lies at the nexus of
- Talent (your natural gifts and strengths,
'what you are good at') plus - Passion (those things that naturally energize, excite, motivate and inspire you,
'what you like doing'), - Need (including 'what the world needs' enough to pay you for) and
- Conscious (small voice within that assures you of 'what is right' and prompts you to actually do it).”
