What inspires outstanding personal achievement…day-in and day-out?
Do successful people really do things differently?
They certainly do, says acclaimed author Stephen Covey. And in this powerful audio program, based on his New York Times #1 bestseller, he reveals the 7 habits all successful people share – and shows you how to make them a part of your everyday life. Learn the timeless value of “the character ethic.” Discover how to create your own “paradigm shift.” Unlock new levels of thinking and perception to create new vistas of achievement and fulfillment.
You’ll be able to concentrate your efforts to exceed your goals, renew yourself continually – physically, mentally, and spiritually – gain inner strength, and free yourself from the constraints of others.
Here are Dr. Stephen R. Covey’s The 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People put in perspective.
- Habit 1: Be proactive. Covey believed that true leaders take responsibility for their behavior, as well as the choices they make in difficult times. This habit isn’t simply about being aggressive or assertive. Rather, Covey advocated never blaming others when things go wrong, but instead looking at our own actions and how we can improve ourselves before looking at the actions of others.
- Habit 2: Begin with the end in mind. It’s so simple, yet so powerful. Covey argued that creating a “mental vision” for where you want a particular project or initiative to end up is essential to deciding how you will conduct yourself. Consider business meetings. If we asked ourselves how we want our meetings to conclude, how much more effective would our meetings be? Covey’s brilliance was arguing that we should start with the end first.
- Habit 3: Put first things first. Covey said; “The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing.” Easier said than done. Too often, we confuse activity with productivity. Covey wrote a wonderful book entitled “First Things First,” which some people consider a book on time management, but in many ways is a classic case study on how to prioritize your business and personal life. Great leaders decide on their priorities before they act, rather than simply acting out of the need to seem busy and engaged.
- Habit 4: Think win-win. Instead of believing that in order for you to win, someone else needs to lose, Covey argued that there is an ever-expanding pie or, as he called it, “a cornucopia of opportunity.” Covey believed that when you think “win-win,” you are better able to resolve conflict and find ways to solve problems as opposed to achieving your goals while creating unnecessary enemies along the way.
- Habit 5: Seek first to understand, then to be understood. So many professionals argue that they are misunderstood. However, Covey said that great communicators and leaders work hard to make sure they understand where the other person is coming from. By doing so, they are better able to have their message understood. However, Covey warned, “Seeking to understand takes kindness; seeking to be understood takes courage. Effectiveness lies in balancing the two.”
- Habit 6: Synergize. The word synergy is often nothing more than jargon, but the way Covey used it, the term was both practical and profound. Said Covey; “Synergy is about producing a third alternative — not my way, not your way, but a third way that is better than either of us could come up with individually.” Covey was referring to the need for communicators and leaders to be creative negotiators that build powerful relationships with others.
- Habit 7: Sharpen the saw. Covey concluded that great leaders and communicators are never satisfied with the status quo. They are constantly working to improve themselves and those around them. They never say; “We are good enough.” Covey believed that all professionals need to continually challenge themselves, read more and ask more questions. Stephen Covey’s contribution to the art of leadership and the practice of communication are legendary.
