  • Organizational Impact of the 7 Habits on Schools and Colleges
    Former professor of communication and FranklinCovey consultant Susan Baile conducted a study involving nearly 40 schools and colleges in the United States in 1998.  After interviewing 140 teachers, administrators, and others, Baile concluded that the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People training course produced positive organizational, not just personal, change.  The positive value of the 7 Habits for the following organizational components was confirmed:  1.  Workplace Satisfaction; 2. Communication Between Employees; 3. Teamwork; 4. Organizational Goal Focus; 5. Conflict Management/Collaboration; and 6. Organizational Resilience.  This document, written in 2008, summarizes the Baile study and adds some additional context to the value of 7 Habits in the schools.
