• The world has changed dramatically since The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People was first published in 1989, by Stephen Covey.

Covey presents a step-by-step pathway for living with fairness, integrity, service and human

dignity — principles that give you the security to adapt to change, and the wisdom and

power to take advantage of the opportunities that change creates.

Our character is basically a composite of our habits. Because they are consistent, often

unconscious patterns, they constantly, daily, express our character.

(Stephen Covey)

A reporter asked Covey: “Are the 7 Habits still relevant today?”And, for that matter, “Will they be relevant 10, 20, 50, 100 years from

now?”

Stephen R. Covey’s answer: “The greater the change and more difficult our

challenges, the more relevant the habits become.”

“By synergistically creating a mission statement, it becomes engraved in the hearts and minds of the

participants”

HABIT 6

of knowledge, skill and desire:

• Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm, the what to do and the why.

motivation, the want to do.

There are two bears and they are trying to catch a fish in the river. So one of them get on one side of the river and other get on the other side than they can easily trap and catch the

fish.

Look at this

You walk outside and you look up in the sky. You see a flock of birds flying in a v shape. You ask

yourself why are they doing this. They are working as together as a team. You see when the leader gets tired he falls to the back of the pack. This is because the leader creates a draft

for everyone else to just glide on.

You are watching a basketball game. They are working together as a team. They are

synergizing.

Basic principle

Synergize based on principles of:

• valuing difference, &• seeking alternatives.

Celebrating Differences:

value differences, see each other as an

advantage and not as a weakness. believe that

if two people think differently can achieve more than two people

who think alike.

Tolerating Difference:

believe that everyone has the right to be

different. ” You keep to yourself and ill keep to myself.”

never get to synergy because some people

see differences as hurdles, not as

potential strengths.
