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.

THINK WIN/WIN

Highly effective people strive for win/win transactions.

A Win-Win mind-set can help us multiply our allies.

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.

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.

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.

SYNERGIZE

Effective synergy depends on communication.

Cooperation and communication are the two legs of a synergistic

relationship.

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.
