Three-Day Outline

Your culture is your organization’s most competitive advantage. From your strategy to your systems, your competition can replicate almost every advantage you have. Every advantage, that is, except one—your culture.

At FranklinCovey, we define culture as:

• The collective behavior of your people.

• The nature of the relationships people have with each other.

• The spoken and unspoken values, norms, and systems that distinguish the culture.

A healthy culture exists when people have the ability to work effectively together to achieve results that matter.

So why doesn’t every organization have a great culture?

In our experience, too many organizations leave building their culture to chance. They get so focused on strategy, products, business plans, and sales that they forget to invest in the culture itself. As Peter Drucker, author of The Effective Executive, famously said, “Culture eats strategy for breakfast.” Ignoring culture puts your organization’s strategic performance at risk. But when an organization intentionally aligns values, behaviors, norms, and systems toward a central strategy, culture becomes a force to drive results.

We believe organizations create winning cultures through three key drivers:

1. The organization has an established framework and language for teaching its values.

2. Team members have high levels of character and competence.

3. Leaders model and reinforce the desired behaviors.

The 7 Habits is a powerful tool for creating great cultures. As leaders learn, model, and reinforce the 7 Habits they create an operating system for effectiveness in their teams and organizations. The organization has a shared language for getting results. And as every person learns to live the 7 Habits they develop high levels of character and competence and ultimately, trust.

In celebration of 25 years of helping people and organizations improve their effectiveness, FranklinCovey is proud to launch the new 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®: Signature Edition 4.0. More relevant today than ever, this new and stunning program integrates the timeless principles of human effectiveness with all new tools, technology, activities, and videos to help sustain lasting change.


Why 7 Habits Today?

You could copy a lot of stuff. But you can not copy culture that easy. Culture for me is a purposeful design, it’s not something you just get. It’s something you actually invest in every day.

- Niklas Hedin, CEO, Centiro

The 7 Habits: An Established Framework for Building Winning Cultures

Stephen R. Covey showed that there is a path that leads to personal and interpersonal effectiveness. We call it the Maturity Continuum. Each of us moves from dependence to independence (Habits 1–3), and from independence to interdependence (Habits 4–6) as we learn to lead and manage ourselves and work effectively with others. To sustain effectiveness we also need to continually renew (Habit 7).

The 7 Habits are sequential—you must practice Habit 1 before moving to Habit 2, and so forth. Once you’ve mastered Habits 1–3, you achieve the Private Victory®, which is the ability to lead and manage yourself. Habits 4–6 lead to the Public Victory®, your ability to work well with others. Habit 7 encircles all the habits—it’s the habit of renewal.

Our failure to be effective shows up in the Immaturity Continuum. This too takes specific habits—like “Begin with Nothing in Mind” and “Put Urgent Things First” and “Minimize.” Most of us have demonstrated some of the negative habits at some point, but when these behaviors are the norm they create a highly dysfunctional individual and ultimately a highly dysfunctional culture. The 7 Habits creates powerful self-awareness. Everyone on your team and in your organization now understands what effectiveness looks like and can practice those habits every day.

Rolling Out the 7 Habits Inside Your Organization

Leaders Are the Key Leverage Point

Real behavior change takes time and dedicated practice. It also requires feedback, coaching, and reinforcement in order to create the good habits that are the foundation of an effective person and a winning culture. That’s why attending The 7 Habits is not just a one-time event. Rather, the program is built as a process where each person first takes an assessment (self or 360º) to measure their current effectiveness. Then they attend the 7 Habits program, where they learn and practice the new paradigms, behaviors, and skills that help them become more effective. After the program they work with an accountability partner on a 7-week contract to help the new behaviors become habits. They also download and use the Living the 7 Habits smartphone app which sends them daily reminders, helps them plan weekly, and work their 7 X 7 Contract.

The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People: Signature Edition 4.0 solution is meant for every level of employee, but leaders who play such a critical role in developing culture deserve special attention. In our research over the past 25 years on the efficacy of the 7 Habits, we’ve discovered that organizations that invest heavily in building the capabilities of their leaders achieved significantly better results. Team, department, and organizational leaders need to model the 7 Habits, not just talk about them. These discoveries led to the development of a one-day solution for leaders to give them a new mindset, skillset, and toolset to create a highly effective culture. This program is called The 7 Habits Leader Implementation: Coaching Your Team to Higher Performance. Leaders attend this one-day program after they have attended the 7 Habits 4.0 training to learn how to implement the 7 Habits in their teams.

Here leaders learn how to model the 7 Habits and to be an effective coach using the 7 Habits framework. Leaders need to lead all the time, not just once a quarter or once a year. This additional program shows leaders how to use the 7 Habits as a framework for all their interactions with their people. After the session they hold weekly checkpoint meetings to reinforce the 7 Habits as the key operating system for their team.

and Public Victories.

to independence. It means we have developed

self-mastery and are able to achieve our most

important goals. It comes from living Habits 1,

2, and 3.

Public Victory®

Winning this victory moves us from independence

to interdependence. It’s our capacity to develop

meaningful relationships and work well with

others. It comes from living Habits 4, 5, and 6.

Your organization’s success depends on strong individual performance at all levels, including your non-managerial, administrative, and staff-level employees. Great performance requires a common set of values, behaviors, and skills that align individual capabilities to your organization’s strategy.

Help all of your employees tap into their best with the new 7 Habits Foundations, the one-day introduction to The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People®: Signature Edition 4.0 content.* Available live and live online, the 7 Habits Foundations program introduces foundational principles, paradigms and practices of the 7 Habits, and is particularly suitable for frontline associates.

Participants learn the timeless principles of human effectiveness that propel them toward greater maturity and performance. They learn that true success comes from the inside-out:

Private Victory®

• First, participants build a foundation of character by focusing on leading and managing themselves—achieving the Private Victory. They accept full responsibility for their choices, moods, actions, and outcomes. They set goals that align their own unique mission and purpose to their team and organization, and learn how to execute those goals by staying focused on what is most important, not just most urgent.

Public Victory®

• Second, they achieve the Public Victory by learning how to work well with others effectively—to have lasting influence and impact. They learn the mindset of mutual abundance in every encounter, how to effectively communicate with others by listening and advocating with empathy and respect, and how to synergistically solve problems with better solutions than they have previously thought possible.

• Third, they learn how to renew and invest in themselves.

As employees move from dependence to independence to interdependence, they are able to experience first-hand the rewards of greater self-discipline and superb cooperation and collaboration.
