When confronted with cases that contain ingredients that are outside the realm of their individual influence, those imbued with Covey's summary accountability could become frustrated at the "habits'" failure to put instances within their locus of control. In brief, Covey is often mentioned to preach impractical, idealistic techniques.
Advocates of Covey's techniques point out that the writer consistently opposes "quick-fix" solutions to lifetime or company difficulties and insists that changes in paradigm or mindset to align with all-natural principles are the true source of solutions. Covey points out, for illustration, that the paradigm that produces short-term results in company inevitably leads to an inability to provide results for the extended expression. He calls this "killing the golden goose." The best mindset for the company individual is to balance short- and long-term effective capacities.
