Covey’s 7 habits of highly effective people
Stephen Covey’s Seven Habits of Highly Effective People helps to gain greater insights into how
to lead and manage one's professional and personal life to be effective in both realms.
These seven habits:
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first things first
4. Think win-win
5. First understand, then be understood
6. Synergies
7. Sharpen your saw
These 7 habits move us through the following stages:
Dependence Independent Interdependent
Although independence is very much encouraged in today’s world, interdependence is the
essential quality in today’s environment that requires teamwork and good leadership.
To become interdependent, one must first become independent; the first 3 habits deal with self-
mastery required for character growth to move from dependence to independence stage.
While habits 4 to 6 concentrate on teamwork, cooperation and communication, they progress one
from independence to interdependence.
The 7th stage is an improvement stage; it highlights the habit of renewal and creates an upward
spiral of growth, i.e. continual improvement in building one’s production capability.
Habit 1: Proactive.
Let us begin with Proactivity as it forms the foundation for the rest of the 6 habits. A proactive
person chooses his response to any situation or person, countering different schools of
determinism, which say response is determined by stimulus.
Highly effective persons make decision to improve their lives through influencing things around
them rather than simply reacting to external force. When faced with a problem, they take
initiative to find solutions rather than just reporting the problem and waiting for others to solve
for them. As not all things are within your control, you need to identify those you could exert
changes and focus your effort on them.
Concerns/problems can be classified into 3 areas, namely direct control, indirect control and no
control. You can extend your area of influence on concerns which you have indirect control. They
are problems caused by others’ behavior, while direct control is for problems caused by your own
behavior.
Habit 2: Begin With the End in Mind.
Stage 2 is the cultivation of the habit to create a clear vision of direction and destination to help in
attaining your goal. Personal mission statement, philosophy, or creed is first developed to help
you to focus on what you want to be and do, thus guiding your daily activities towards your goal.
This habit is called Personal Leadership because leadership is considered to be the first creation
of your vision, and management comes in second and productivity third. Management is doing
things right; leadership is doing the right things.
Next, we need to re-examine the centre of our life, identifying what is important. The centre of
your life will be the source of your security, guidance, wisdom, and power. Placing u.
The document summarizes key concepts from Stephen Covey's book "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" as presented in a workshop. It discusses Habit 3 of putting first things first and time management. It then covers Habit 6 of synergizing, including defining synergy, the process of synergizing through communication and finding the "third alternative", and creating an environment to support synergy. Examples are provided to illustrate synergizing different perspectives to find cooperative solutions.

Recent neurological studies indicate that the role of emotion in human cognition is essential; emotions are not a luxury. Instead, emotions play a critical role in rational decision–making, in perception, in human interaction, and in human intelligence. Habits are the intersection of knowledge, skill, and desire.
This document discusses time management and putting first things first. It explains that Habit 3 involves managing your life based on your deepest values and priorities. This includes identifying your key roles, selecting goals for each role, and scheduling your time to achieve those goals. It emphasizes the importance of living according to your values and principles, not just schedules and short-term goals. Effective time management also involves delegating tasks to others to increase productivity and focus on higher priority activities.

Habit 1 is about being proactive rather than reactive in life by taking responsibility for decisions and consequences. Habits 2 and 3 involve setting goals and priorities. Habits 4-6 focus on working well with others through mutually beneficial solutions, understanding others, and teamwork. Habit 7 is about self-renewal through balancing resources like health. Developing these habits takes time and effort but can increase personal and professional effectiveness.
The document summarizes the 10 Natural Laws of Successful Time and Life Management from Hyrum W. Smith's book. It discusses how Smith founded Franklin Quest Co. and merged it with Covey Leadership Center to form Franklin Covey. It then explains each of the 10 natural laws, including that you control your life by controlling your time (Law 1), identifying governing values (Law 2), prioritizing values (Law 3), setting SMART goals aligned with values (Law 4), creating a daily task list from goals (Law 5), the connection between beliefs and actions (Law 6), and the importance of personal growth by upgrading beliefs (Law 7).
This document discusses key concepts from Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It covers the importance of having the right mental map or paradigm to solve problems effectively. It also discusses the need for paradigm shifts to make significant changes. Habit 1 is about being proactive by choosing your response instead of reacting based on feelings. Habits 2 and 3 involve beginning with the end in mind by defining a personal mission statement and priorities, and putting first things first through effective time management.

This document summarizes Stephen Covey's "7 Habits of Highly Effective People". It outlines the 7 habits which are: 1) Be Proactive, 2) Begin with the End in Mind, 3) Put First Things First, 4) Think Win-Win, 5) Seek First to Understand, 6) Synergize, and 7) Sharpen the Saw. Each habit is briefly described, such as putting things in order of importance rather than urgency, listening to understand others before being understood, and taking time for self-renewal in different dimensions. Activities are suggested for applying each habit, like creating a time management matrix and identifying neglected important tasks.
This document discusses time management and its relationship to stress. It explains that taking time to sharpen your axe, or prepare and plan, is important to maintain productivity over time. It presents Covey's time management matrix which divides time into important/urgent vs. not important/not urgent quadrants. The key is to spend more time in the important but not urgent quadrant for quality planning and prevention of future problems, while avoiding wasting time in the unimportant quadrants. An action plan is proposed to help manage time and stress effectively through workshops.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

7%20 habits%20of%20highly%20effective%20people[1]
1. 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
Be Proactive, Personal Vision
Habit 1:
Proactivity means that, as human beings, we are responsible for our own lives. Our
behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions.
There are three central values in life: the experiential (that which happens to us), the
creative (that which we bring into existence), and the attitudinal (our response to difficult
circumstances). What matters most is how we respond to what we experience in life.
Proactivity is grounded in facing reality but also understanding we have the power to
choose a positive response to our circumstances.
We need to understand how we focus our time and energy to be effective. The things we
are concerned about could be described as our "Circle of Concern". There are things we
can really do something about, that can be described as our "Circle of Influence". When
we focus our time and energy in our Circle of Concern, but outside our Circle of
Influence, we are not being effective. However, we find that being proactive helps us
expand our Circle of Influence. (Work on things you can do something about.)
Reactive people focus their efforts on the Circle of Concern, over things they can't
control. Their negative energy causes their Circle of Influence to shrink.
Sometimes we make choices with negative consequences, called mistakes. We can't
recall or undo past mistakes. The proactive approach to a mistake is to acknowledge it
instantly, correct and learn from it. Success is the far side of failure.
At the heart of our Circle of Influence is our ability to make and keep commitments and
promises. Our integrity in keeping commitments and the ability to make commitments
are the clearest manifestations of proactivity.
Begin With The End In Mind, Personal Leadership
Habit 2:
There are three major aspects of our personal and business management. First is
leadership what do I/we want to accomplish? Second is management how can I best
accomplish it? Third is productivity doing it. According to Peter Drucker and Warren
Bennis, "Management is doing things right; Leadership is doing the right things."
A starting point in beginning with the end in mind is to develop a personal mission
statement, philosophy or credo. It will help you focus on what you want to be (character),
2. do (contributions and achievements) and on the values and principles upon which your
being and doing are based. The personal mission statement gives us a changeless core
from which we can deal with external change.
The principles we base our lives on should be deep, fundamental truths, classic truths, or
generic common denominators. They will become tightly interwoven themes running
with exactness, consistency, beauty and strength through the fabric of our lives.
In developing your personal mission statement, you can use your creative ability to
imagine life milestones such as birthdays, anniversaries, retirement and funerals. What
accomplishments would you like to celebrate? Visualize them in rich detail.
Put First Things First Principles of Personal Management
Habit 3:
“Habit 1 I am the Programmer. Habit 2 Write the Program. Habit 3 Execute the
Program.”
Habit 3 is Personal Management, the exercise of independent will to create a life
congruent with your values, goals and mission.
Time management is an essential skill for personal management. The essence of time
management is to organize and execute around priorities. Methods of time management
have developed in these stages: 1) notes and checklists recognizing multiple demands
on our time; 2) calendars and appointment books scheduling events and activities; 3)
prioritizing, clarifying values integrating our daily planning with goal setting (The
downside of this approach is increasing efficiency can reduce the spontaneity and
relationships of life.); 4) managing ourselves rather than managing time focusing in
preserving and enhancing relationships and accomplishing results, thus maintaining the
P/PC balance (production versus building production capacity).
A matrix can be made of the characteristics of activities, classifying them as urgent or not
urgent, important or not important.
Quadrant I activities are urgent and important called problems or crises. Focusing on
Quadrant I results in it getting bigger and bigger until it dominates you.
Quadrant III activities are urgent and not important, and often misclassified as Quadrant
I.
Quadrant IV is the escape Quadrant activities that are not urgent and not important.
Effective people stay out of Quadrants III and IV because they aren't important. They
shrink Quadrant I down to size by spending more time in Quadrant II.
3. Quadrant II activities are important, but not urgent. Working on this Quadrant is the heart
of personal time management. These are PC activities.
Quadrant II activities are high impact activities that when done regularly would make a
tremendous difference in your life. (Including implementing the Seven Habits.)
Initially, the time for Quadrant II activities must come from Quadrants III and IV.
Quadrant I can't be ignored, but should eventually shrink with attention to Quadrant II.
1) Prioritize
2) Organize Around Priorities
3) Discipline yourself
A critical skill for personal management is delegation. Effectively delegating to others is
perhaps the single most powerful highleverage activity there is. Delegation enables you
to devote your energies to highlevel activities in addition to enabling personal growth for
individuals and organizations.
There are two types of delegation: Gofer Delegation and Supervision of Efforts
(Stewardship).
Using Gofer Delegation requires dictating not only what to do, but how to do it. The
supervisor then must function as a "boss," micromanaging the progress of the
"subordinate."
More effective managers use Stewardship Delegation, which focuses on results instead of
methods. People are able to choose the method to achieve the results. It takes more time
up front, but has greater benefits. Stewardship Delegation requires a clear, upfront
mutual understanding of and commitment to expectations in five areas:
1. Desired Results Have the person see it, describe it, make a quality statement of
what the results will look like and by when they will be accomplished.
2. Guidelines Identify the parameters within which the individual should operate,
and what potential "failure paths" might be. Keep the responsibility for results
with the person delegated to.
3. Resources Identify the resources available to accomplish the required results.
4. Accountability Set standards of performance to be used in evaluating the results
and specific times when reporting and evaluation will take place.
5. Consequences Specify what will happen as a result of the evaluation, including
psychic or financial rewards and penalties.
Immature people can handle fewer results and need more guidelines and more
accountability interviews. Mature people can handle more challenging desired results
with fewer guidelines and accountability interviews.
4. "Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is. Treat a man as he can and should be and
he will become as he can and should be."
Paradigms of Interdependence
The most important ingredient we put into any relationship is not what we say or do, but
who we are.
In order to receive the benefits of interdependence, we need to create and care for the
relationships that are the source of the benefits.
The Emotional Bank Account describes how trust is built on a relationship. Positive
behaviors are deposits building a reserve. Negative behaviors are withdrawals. A high
reserve balance results in higher tolerance for our mistakes and more open
communication.
There are six major deposits we can make to the emotional bank account:
1. Understanding the individual. An individual's values determine what actions will
result in a deposit or a withdrawal for that individual. To build a relationship, you
must learn what is important to the other person and make it as important to you
as the other person is to you. Understand others deeply as individuals and then
treat them in terms of that understanding.
2. Attend to the little things, which are the big things in relationships.
3. Keep commitments. Breaking a promise is a major withdrawal.
4. Clarify expectations. The cause of almost all relationship difficulties is rooted in
ambiguous, conflicting expectations around roles and goals. Making an
investment of time and effort up front saves time, effort and a major withdrawal
later.
5. Show personal integrity. A lack of integrity can undermine almost any effort to
create a high trust reserve. Honesty requires conforming our words to reality.
Integrity requires conforming reality to our words, keeping promises and fulfilling
expectations. The key to the many is the one, especially the one that tests the
patience and good humor of the many. How you treat the one reveals how you
regard the many, because everyone is ultimately a one.
6. Apologize sincerely when you make a withdrawal. Sincere apologies are deposits,
but repeated apologies are interpreted as insincere, resulting in withdrawals.
Think WinWin
Habit 4:
Win/Win is one of six total philosophies of human interaction.
1. Win/Win People can seek mutual benefit in all human interactions. Principle
based behavior.
5. 2. Win/Lose The competitive paradigm: if I win, you lose. The leadership style is
authoritarian. In relationships, if both people aren't winning, both are losing.
3. Lose/Win The "Doormat" paradigm. The individual seeks strength from
popularity based on acceptance. The leadership style is permissiveness.
4. Lose/Lose When people become obsessed with making the other person lose,
even at their own expense.
5. Win Focusing solely on getting what one wants, regardless of the needs of
others.
6. Win/Win or No Deal If we can't find a mutually beneficial solution, we agree to
disagree agreeably no deal. This approach is most realistic at the beginning of a
business relationship or enterprise. In a continuing relationship, it's no longer an
option.
When relationships are paramount, Win/Win is the only viable alternative. In a
competitive situation where building a relationship isn't important, Win/Lose may be
appropriate. There are five dimensions of the Win/Win model: Character, Relationships,
Agreements, Supportive Systems and Processes.
1. Character is the foundation of Win/Win. There must be integrity in order to
establish trust in the relationship and to define a win in terms of personal values.
2. Relationships are the focus on Win/Win. Whatever the orientation of the person
you are dealing with (Win/Lose, etc.), the relationship is the key to turning the
situation around.
3. Performance agreements give definition and direction to Win/Win. They shift the
paradigm of production from vertical (Superior Subordinate) to horizontal
(Partnership/Team). The agreement should include elements to create a standard
by which people can measure their own success.
• Defined results (not methods) what is to be done and when.
• Guidelines the parameters within which the results should be
accomplished
• Resources human, financial, technical or organizational support
available to accomplish the results.
• Accountability the standards of performance and time(s) of
evaluation.
• Consequences what will happen as a result of the evaluation.
4. The Reward System is a key element in the Win/Win model. Talking Win/Win
but rewarding Win/Lose results in negating the Win/Win paradigm. If the
outstanding performance of a few is rewarded, the other team members will be
losers. Instead, develop individual achievable goals and team objectives to be
rewarded.
Competition has its place against market competitors, last year's performance, or another
location or individual where cooperation and interdependence aren't required, but
cooperation in the workplace is as important to free enterprise as competition in the
marketplace. The spirit of Win/Win cannot survive in an environment of competition or
contests. All of the company's systems should be based on the principle of Win/Win. The
6. Compensation system of the managers should be based on the productivity and
development of their people. The Win/Win process has four steps.
1. See the problem from the other point of view, in terms of the needs and concerns
of the other party.
2. Identify the key issues and concerns (not positions) involved.
3. Determine what results would make a fully acceptable solution.
4. Identify new options to achieve those results.
Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood
Habit 5:
We often prescribe before making a proper diagnosis when communicating. We should
first take the time to deeply understand the problems presented to us.
Skills of empathic listening must be built on a character that inspires openness and trust
and high emotional bank accounts.
Empathic Listening
When another person is speaking, we usually "listen" at one of four levels: ignoring,
pretending, selective listening, or attentive listening. We should be using the fifth, highest
form of listening empathic listening.
Empathic listening is listening with intent to understand the other person's frame of
reference and feelings. You must listen with your ears, your eyes and your heart.
Diagnose Before You Prescribe
An effective salesperson seeks to understand the needs, concerns and situation of the
customer. An amateur sells products, the professional sells solutions.
Empathic listening takes time, but not as much time as backing up and correcting
misunderstandings, including living with problems and the results of not giving the
people you care about psychological air.
Habit 5 is powerful because it focuses on your circle of influence. It's an inside out
approach. You are focusing on building your understanding. You become influenceable,
which is the key to influencing others. As you appreciate people more, they will
appreciate you more.
Synergize
7. Principles of Creative Cooperation
Habit 6:
Synergy means the whole is greater than the sum of its parts.
The essence of synergy is to value differences to respect them, to build on strengths, and
to compensate for weaknesses. Synergistic communication is opening your mind and
heart to new possibilities. It may seem like you are casting aside "beginning with the end
in mind," but you are actually fulfilling it by clarifying your goals and discovering better
ones.
By taking the time to really build a team, creating a high emotional bank account, the
group can become very closely knit. The respect among members can become so high
that if there is a disagreement, there can be a genuine effort to understand.
High trust leads to high cooperation and communication. The progression of
communication is defensive (win or lose/win), to respectful (compromise), to synergistic
(win/win).
By synergistically creating a mission statement, it becomes engraved in the hearts and
minds of the participants. The problem is that highly dependent people are trying to
succeed in an interdependent reality. They may talk win/win technique, but they want to
manipulate others. These insecure people need to mold others to their way of thinking.
The person who is truly effective has the humility and reverence to recognize his own
perceptual limitations and to appreciate the rich resources available through interaction
with the hearts and minds of other human beings.
Principles of Balanced SelfRenewal
Habit 7:
Habit 7 is taking the time to sharpen the saw. You must work proactively (Quadrant II) to
renew the four dimensions of your nature physical, spiritual, mental and social/economic.
The Physical Dimension
The physical dimension involves caring for your physical body eating the right foods,
getting enough rest and relaxation, and exercising on a regular basis.
The Spiritual Dimension
The spiritual dimension is your center, your commitment to your value system. It draws
upon the sources that inspire and uplift you and tie you to timeless truths of humanity.
8. The Mental Dimension
It's important keep your mind sharp by reading, writing, organizing and planning. Read
broadly and expose yourself to great minds.
The Social/Emotional Dimension
Our emotional life is primarily developed out of and manifested in our relationships with
others. Renewing our social/emotional dimension requires focus and exercise in our
interaction with others.
Selfrenewal must include balanced renewal in all four dimensionsphysical, spiritual,
mental and social/emotional. Neglecting any one area negatively impacts the rest.
