'I've not felt such passion, such conviction or excitement since my work on The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. I believe the reason the response to the new ideas in The 8th Habit has been so strong is that people feel a void in their lives. This same emptiness is felt in organizations across the world, most of which struggle to achieve their top priorities. People don't feel their unique talents are tapped or appreciated. Bottom line: there is a profound yearning in both people and organizations to find their true "voice", to matter, to make a difference, to find greatness.'
