7 Habits Of Highly Effective People
Mackinsey Sanders
Be Proactive
The ability to control your own environment, rather than have it control you. Self determination, choice, and the power to decide. :)
Begin with the end in mind
This is a habit of leadership, lead yourself towards your goals and concentrate on relevant projects.
Make priorities
Put first things first, do what is important first, not what is easiest.
Think "win win"
Achievements are largely dependent on co-operative efforts with others. If you are thinking about making your goal, than you are more likely to worker harder and make it.
Seek to understand and to be understood
Communication is a very powerful thing to have. Simple and effective, and essential for developing and maintaining positive relationships in all aspects of life.
Synchronize
The principle that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, which implicitly lays down the challenge to see the good and potential in the other person's contribution. It is teamwork, open-mindedness, and the adventure of finding new solutions to old problems.
Sharpen the saw
surrounds all the other habits, enabling and encouraging them to happen and grow. Covey interprets the self into four parts: the spiritual, mental, physical and the social/emotional, which all need feeding and developing.
