I just couldn't swallow the Kool-Aid. Not to get religous on you, but have you ever listened to Joel Osteen? Positive messages without the fire and brimstone. Flexo,

Some did resonate with me. The 7 Habits are designed to resonate because they do take a deeper look into psychology than would normally happen in a business setting. Some did resonate with me.

It's one of the benefits of working here. I agree that some of it is basic and that it's not a class for everyone, but parts of it resonated with me, particularly Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind. As for the mission statement, that one takes some time to do. Definitely not something you can just throw together in 15 minutes.
