 Describe and explain the 7 habits

habit 5: seek first to understand and then to be understood

Listen with empathy and genuine interest to what people want to communicate
to you. Pay attention to what the other wants to tell you, without thinking about
an answer or your personal experiences.

 Reflection about the 7 habits

habit 5 teaches us the essence of respect for others. The need we have to be
understood is one of the most intense feelings of all human beings. This habit is
the key to effective human relations. Do not insist that the other person
understands you so that they help you, so that they buy from you, so that they
work on what you want... Be the person who understands first. This will allow
you to help that person

 Give examples of each habit of how you will apply them to your
professional life.

I would apply habit 5 in my professional life by listening to my staff in order to

understand their situation. The habit of understanding others first helps us to be
empathic with people. This allows us to control our emotional intelligence.
