Gary Drumm – PMP, ITIL

I was going through my personal libaray yesterday and I came across an oldie, but a goodie.  The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, by Dr. Steven R. Covey.  This book revolutionized personal achievement in the 1990′s and changed my own life and ideas in many ways during that time.  It’s ideas and tactics are not only timeless, they are applicable across multiple areas and mulitple disciplines.

So I thought it would be fun to write a blog series over the next seven weeks entitled “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective IT”.  In this series, I will be taking Dr. Covey’s principles and applying them to the IT field in general.  From being pro-active, to sharpening the saw, I will be writing about how organizations can use the 7 habits to improve their IT operations.

To some, this may seem obvious, but I thought it would be a fun challenge to apply the 7 habits in a real-world arena, and I can think of few areas that could benefit more from these timeless habits than the field of Information Technology.  So I’ll hope you’ll join me for what I think will be an exciting and fun look at The 7 Habits of Highly Effective IT.
