THE SEVEN HABITS OF

HIGHLY EFFECTIVE

PEOPLE

Habit 1 – BE PROACTIVE

Ability to control one’s environment, rather than have it control you.

Don’t blame genetics, circumstances, conditions, or conditioning for our behavior.

Challenges

Circle of Influence Circle of Concern

Habit 2 – BEGIN WITH THE END IN MIND

So, what do you want to be when you

grow up?

If our ladder is not leaning against the

right wall, every step we take gets us to

the wrong place faster.

It is based on the principle that all

things are created twice. There is a

mental creation, and a physical

creation.

• Based on Imagination

• Personal Mission

Statement

• Connect with your

Uniqueness

It is where Habit 1 & 2 gets together

It is about the physical creation which follows the mental creation.

About Time Management and Life Management.

Organize and Implement Activities

Habit 3 – PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST

It is a character-based code for interaction and collaboration.

It sees life as a cooperative arena and not a competitive one.

It means agreements that are mutually beneficial.

Characteristics of a WIN-WIN Taker-

Integrity

Maturity

Abundance

Habit 4 – THINK WIN-WIN

‘Diagnose before you Prescribe’

Communication is the most

important skill in life.

It should be simple and effective,

and essential for developing and

maintaining positive relationships in

all aspects of life.

Most people listen with an intent to

reply, not to understand

Habit 5 – SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND,

THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD

• We respond as if

Evaluating

Probing

Advising

Interpreting

It is a habit of creative co-operation

It is teamwork and open-mindedness

It promotes whole is greater than the sum of

the parts

Valuing differences is what really drives synergy.

Differences should be seen as strengths, not

weaknesses

Habit 6 – SYNERGIZE

Its about having a balanced

program for self-renewal in the

four areas of our life

Physical

Social/Emotional

Mental

Spiritual

Habit 7 – SHARPEN YOUR SAW

What’s Next?

Research shows, that the majority of people are

not thriving. Tapping into the higher reaches

of human motivation requires a new mindset, a

new skill-set - a new habit…

It deals with personal satisfaction and helping others to achieve

fulfillment.

Aligns with Maslow's notions of 'Self-Actualization' and

'Transcendence' in the Hierarchy of Needs model, and also with

Erikson's Psychosocial Life-Stage Theory.

It focuses on leadership, another distinct aspect of fulfillment through

helping others.

It is a roadmap to help you go beyond effectiveness.
