5. BE PROACTIVE
Highly effective people take the initiative.
They are proactive.
They may not be able to control their
circumstances, but they can decide how to
make the best use of those circumstances.

6. THINK WIN/WIN
Highly effective people strive for win/win
transactions.
A Win-Win mind-set can help us multiply
our allies.

7. BEGIN WITH THE END IN
MIND
Effectiveness is not just a matter of
reaching a goal but rather of achieving the
right goal.
We can begin by drafting a personal mission
statement that outlines our goals and
describes the kind of person we want to be.

8. PUT FIRST THINGS FIRST
We should never let our most important priorities fall
victim to the least important.
We confuse the important with the urgent. The urgent is
easy to see. The important is harder to discern.
We must focus on “important but not urgent” activities.

9. SEEK FIRST TO BE UNDERSTAND
THEN TO BE UNDERSTOOD
To develop win/win relationships, we must
find out what the other parties want, and
what winning means to them.
We must listen carefully, and think about it.

10. SYNERGIZE
Effective synergy depends on
communication.
Cooperation and communication are the
two legs of a synergistic relationship.

11. SHARPEN THE SAW
Habit 7 is preserving and enhancing the greatest asset
you have—you. It’s renewing the four dimensions of
your nature—physical, spiritual, mental, and
social/emotional
We are the instruments of our own performance, we
need to recognize the importance of taking time to
regularly sharpen the saw in all four ways.
