The 7 Habits

"Sow a thought, reap an action; sow an action, reap a habit; sow a habit, reap a character; sow a character, reap a destiny." - Steven R. Covey (PG. 54)

Overview

Habit 1: Be Proactive

"Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions"

  • Cause something to happen rather than respond to it after it has happened
  • Take initiative and be responsible for your own life
  • Try not to be reactive, be proactive
  • Realize your personal freedom
  • You are the creator of your life

Habit 6: Synergize

"The essence of synergy is to value differences- to respect them, to build on strengths, to compensate for weaknesses."

Habit 2: Begin with the End in Mind

"...to work harder and harder at climbing the ladder of success only to discover it's leaning against the wrong wall."

  • Take people who are different and have them work together to create a bond that is hard to break

Communication

  • Defensive- Win/Lose
  • Respectful- Compromise
  • Synergistic- Win/Win
  • Live your life with the picture of the end of your life
  • Think of your life like the blueprints of a house
  • Clarify your values before achieving mindless goals
  • Find your center of influence

Habit 7: Sharpen the Saw

"This is the single most powerful investment that we can ever make in life- investment in ourselves..."

  • Makes all the other habits possible
  • Enhance the best asset you have

Four Aspects of Nature:

  • Physical- Exercise and Nutrition
  • Mental- Reading and Planning
  • Social/Emotional- Empathy and Security
  • Spiritual- Meditation

Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, then to be Understood

Habit 3: Put First Things First

"...You've spent years learning how to read and write, years learning how to speak. But what about listening?"

"Manage from the left; lead from the right"

  • Listen before you give advice
  • Most people listen to speak/reply instead of understanding
  • Empathetic communication is listening to understand and get inside of someone's head
  • Have one on one conversations in order to be understood
  • It's becoming principle centered and practicing self management
  • Time management
  • Right brain- creative; philosophy
  • Left brain- analysis; specific application

Habit 4: Think Win/Win

"Whether you are the president of a company or the janitor, the moment you step from independence to interdependence in any capacity, you step into a leadership role."

  • Win/Win gives a cooperative look on life and not a competitive outlook.
  • It's the better way; not my way or you way
