The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Powerful Lessons in Personal Change, by Stephen R. Covey is a comprehensive program based on developing an awareness of how
perceptions and assumptions hinder success---in business as well as
personal relationships. Here's an approach that will help broaden your
way of thinking and lead to greater opportunities and effective problem
solving.
Be Pro-Active: Take the initiative and the responsibility to make things
happen. Begin With an End in Mind: Start with a clear destination to
understand where you are now, where you're going and what you value
most.
Put First Things First: Manage yourself. Organize and execute around priorities.
Think Win/Win: See life as a cooperative, not a comprehensive arena
where success is not achieved at the expense or exclusion of the success
of others.
Seek First to Understand: Understand then be understood to build the
skills of empathetic listening that inspires openness and trust.
