THE SEVEN HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

The Seven Habits -- An Overview

Habits Defined

  • A habit is the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire.
  • Knowledge is the what to do and why.
  • Skill is the how to do.
  • Desire is the motivation, the want to do.
  • Happiness is the fruit of the desire and ability to sacrifice what we want now for what we want eventually.

The Maturity Continuum

  • The seven habits move us progressively on a continuum from dependence to independence to interdependence.
  • The current social paradigm enthrones independence.
  • Habits 1, 2 and 3 deal with self mastery. Private victories precede public victories.
  • Habits 4, 5 and 6 deal with teamwork, cooperation and communication.
  • Habit 7 is the habit of continuous improvement.

Effectiveness Defined

  • P symbolizes production of desired results.
  • PC symbolizes production capacity.
  • Effectiveness is the focus on both P and PC, balancing the two or optimizing P by optimizing PC.

Organizational PC

The PC principle is to always treat your employees exactly as you want them to treat your best customers.
