The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

I was re-reading Stephen Covey’s book “The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People”...

If you haven’t read it the 7 Habits are:
  • Habit 1 Be proactive;
  • Habit 2 Begin with the end in mind;
  • Habit 3 Put first things first;
  • Habit 4 Think win/win;
  • Habit 5 Seek first to understand, then to be understood;
  • Habit 6 Syngergise;
  • Habit 7 Sharpen the saw

The last two might need some more explanation...

Habit 6 is about creative cooperation, teamwork and principle-centre leadership which unifies and unleashes the magic within individuals.

Habit 7 is about preserving and enhancing the great asset you have … you. It’s about your physical, mental, spiritual, social and emotional well-being.

Well worth reading.
