Covey’s seven habits of highly effective people
by Jed
I’m sat trying to hammer through about twelve books in search of something inspirational ahead of a pitch next week. It’s not working. However, I did just find this little gem…
It’s Stephen Covey’s seven habits of highly effective people, and it’s from the 80s, but it’s obviously massively applicable today, so I thought I’d share.
1. Be proactive
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first things first
4. Think win-win
5. First understand, then be understood
6. Synergise [ed. don't laugh, listen]
7. ‘Sharpen the saw’
My favourites are (obviously) one and two.
