TRAINING SESSION

2. WHAT IS 7-HABITS-OF-HIGHLY-EFFECTIVE-
PEOPLE ?
• This article developed by Stephan Covey in a practical way. The
writer presents a method to become effective in achieving
goals. He defines effectiveness as the balance between
achieving goals and caring about how those goals are achieved.
• After reading you will understand the basics of this powerful
personal development and time management tool.

3. 7-HABITS-OF-HIGHLY-EFFECTIVE-PEOPLE
ARE BELOW :
• Be Proactive
• Being with the End in Mind
• Put First Things First
• Think Win/Win
• Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood
• Synergize
• Sharpen the Saw

4. BE PROACTIVE
• Be proactive is about taking responsibility for your life.
Proactive people recognize that they are “response-able”. They
don’t blame circumstances, conditions or conditioning for their
behavior. They know they can choose their behavior.
• Proactive people focus their efforts on their Circle of Influence.
They work on the things they can do something about: health,
children or problems at work.
• They focus and act on what they can control and influence
instead of what they can’t.

6. BEING WITH THE END IN MIND
• This is based on imagination- the ability to envision in your
mind what you cannot at present see with your eyes. It is based
on the principal that all things are created twice. There is a
mental (first) creation, and a physical (second) creation.
• One of the best ways to incorporate this habit into your life is
to develop a “Personal Mission Statement”. It focuses on what
you want to be and do. It is your plan for success. It reaffirms
who you are, puts your goals in focus, and moves your idea
into the real world.
• This Mission Statement makes you the leader of your own life.
You create your destiny and secure the future you envision.
• Define clear measures of success and a plan to achieve them.

8. PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
• This habit is where Habit 1 and 2 come together. It happens
day in and day out, moment-by-moment. It deals with many of
the questions addressed around time and life management-
your purpose, values, roles and priorities.
• In order to manage ourselves effectively, we must put first
things first. We must have the discipline to prioritize our day-
to-day actions based on what is most important, not what is
most urgent.

9. EXAMPLE

10. THINK WIN/WIN
• Win-Win sees life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one.
Win-win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks
mutual benefit in all human interactions.
• Win-Win means agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial
and satisfying. We both get to eat the pie, and it tastes pretty
darn good.

12. EXAMPLE

13. SEEK FIRST TO UNDERSTAND, THEN TO BE
UNDERSTOOD
• First seek to understand the other person, and only then try to
be understood. Stephen Covey presents this habit as the most
important principle of interpersonal relations.
• Influence others by developing a deep understanding of their
needs and perspectives.

14. EXAMPLE

15. SYNERGIZE
• Synergy means “two heads are better than one.” Synergize is
the habit of creative cooperation.
• It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding
new solutions to old problems.
• Synergy simply defined means that the whole is greater than
the sum of its parts.

16. EXAMPLE

17. SHARPEN THE SAW
• Sharpen the Saw means preserving and enhancing the greatest asset
you have. It means having a balanced program for self-renewal in the
four areas of your life: physical, social/emotional, mental, and
spiritual.
• As you renew yourself in each of the four areas, you create growth
and change in your life. Sharpen the Saw keeps you fresh so you can
continue to practice the other six habits. You increase your capacity
to produce and handle the challenges around you.
