Positive Qualities: Principled & Effective
The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.
• Be Proactive (responsible, independent, imaginative, self-aware)
• Begin with the end in mind (conceptualization, visualization, creation)
• Put first things first (time management, start with matters of importance)
• Think Win/Win (mutual benefit, successful, integrity, maturity)
• Seek first to understand, then to be understood (good listener, communication)
• Synergize (communication, cooperation, trust)
• Sharpen the saw (re-energize, relax, be of service)
— The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, Stephen Richards Covey (1932-2012) American Educator
Read the difference between Effective and efficient. I usually strive for efficiency, but as I get older, the dogged persistence of effectiveness seems to take the day.
