Given the recent discussion of leadership, specifically in Public Administration, this brief overview compares ideas proposed by Stephen R. Covey in his 1989 book entitled, The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People to current literature of leadership theory. A current perspective on these habits is the focus. No evidence is found in contrast to Covey's suggested habits as compared to ethical leadership theory, authentic leadership theory, transformational leadership theory, servant leadership theory, and leader-member exchange theory, and it remains a recommended reference for effective leadership. Literature ReviewThis review attempts to compare Covey's identified seven habits of effective leaders to the current literature on leadership related to each of the habits highlighting the value of each.Covey thus identifies the seven habits of highly effective people as:Habit 1: Be proactive.Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind.Habit 3: Put first things first.Habit 4: Think win/win. Habit 5:Seek first to understand, then to be understood.Habit 6: Synergize.Habit 7: Sharpen the saw.
This paper investigates the unique contents of World Development indicators, and the predictability of a country's lagged change in Armed Forces Personnel on conflict. Using World Bank data from 1960 to 2015, we show the lagged change in Armed Forces Personnel is negatively correlated to a country's Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Applying logistic regression methods to the data, we show the lagged change in a country's Armed Forces Personnel does predict conflict. We separate the in-sample countries into two samples. The first sub-sample is used to create a model to predict conflict, while the second sub-sample is used to test the model. After adjusting for country-specific effects, we use the model parameters to test the accuracy of the out-of-sample countries. We find a country's lagged change in Armed Forces Personnel predicts conflict for the in-sample countries with an overall accuracy of 93.1% (first sub-sample), 86.5% overall accuracy (second sub-sample), and 94.9% overall accuracy for the out-of-sample countries.
