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.
