The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People is a book that everyone needs to read. The habits aren’t specific to an industry or a point in time, these are pervasive habits that you should constantly be practicing and applying. When we first read this book it shot straight to our #1 and it stayed there for years – it was very hard to knock off top spot.
The seven habits are grouped: the first three habits for them 'private victory' (the things that relate to you as an individual – personal effectiveness), the next three are the 'public victory' (how you interact with others and the world – interpersonal effectiveness), and the final is an overarching call to be constantly learning, growing and improving.
Private Victory:
Habit 1 - Be Proactive
Habit 2 - Begin with the End in Mind
Habit 3 - Put First Things First
Public Victory:
Habit 4 - Think Win/Win
Habit 5 - Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
Habit 6 - Synergise
Balanced Self-Renewal:
Habit 7 - Sharpen The Saw
