Foundation Principles
Character: The Roots of Effectiveness

• Personality is often referred to as


the mask identity of a person. It is
reflected by the outer appearance
and behavior that may or may not
Personality
be true to inner character.

• Character is closely related to


moral and ethical values. It focuses
on the traits that are unique to a
person. Character is often regarded Character
as the true self, meaning that it
represents deep rooted attributes
possessed by a person.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Foundation Principles
Maturity Continuum
• The Maturity Continuum shows
the relationship among the 7 Habits
it illustrates the stages of
progression – how to become highly
effective through from the
dependance to interdependence.

• We experience the PRIVATE


VICTORY when we learn self-
mastery and self-discipline.

• We reap the PUBLIC VICTORY


when we build deep, lasting, highly
effective relationship with other
people.

The 7 habits provide an incremental, sequential, integrated approach to the development of personal
effectiveness moving us progressively from dependence (on others) to independence (take care of ourselves) to
interdependence (looking after others and combining strengths).

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Foundation Principles
See-Do-Get

A paradigm is the way we see and


understand the world around us. It is a
mental map by which we interpret the
information we receive. Paradigms
hold the key to our own personal
interpretation of reality.

A study of expectancy theory and self-fulfilling prophecies. The study


concluded that no matter how much a person works on their attitude, they won’t
change if they don’t change their perceptions.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Foundation Principles
Effect of Conditioning

• "The way we see the problem


is the problem," Covey writes.
We must allow ourselves to
undergo paradigm shifts
• We see what we are
conditioned to see. We are
conditioned by our upbringing
environment and experience.

If you want small changes, work on


your behaviour; if you want quantum
leap changes, work on your Paradigm.
- Stephen R. Covey

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Foundation Principles
Principles Governs

Principles are self-evident natural


laws. We get superb results when we
align our paradigm with principles of
effectiveness. When we understand
these principles, they empower and
enable us.

Principles are: Principles are not:


• Above situation specific timeless • Situational
• Permanent timeless • Temporary
• Objective • Subjective (Internal)
• Not dependent whether we value them • Dependent on whether we value them.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Foundation Principles
Live by the Principles of the 7 Habits
Our results are affected by our paradigm and behaviour. As we work on them
considering principles, we can establish new habits and thereby change the
results we achieve.

Each of the 7 Habits is based


on:
• Principles of effectiveness
• Paradigm (See) that is aligned with
Principles the principles.
• Behaviour (Do) that produces an
effective Results (Get).

Production Capability (PC)
Maintaining, preserving and enhancing
the resources (the goose) that produce
the desired results.

The Freedom To Choose


Instead of reacting to or worrying about conditions over which they have little or

Empathic Listening:
• Giving advice before empathetically
understanding will likely result in
rejection of that advice.
• Effective listening is not simply
echoing what the other person has
said through the lens of one’s own
experience.

perspective of the other person,
listening empathically for both
feeling and meaning.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Habit 5: Seek First to Understand, Then to Be
Understood®
Communicate effectively at all levels of the organization.
Seek First To Understand
Because you so often listen
autobiographically, you tend to respond
in one of four ways:
• Evaluating: You judge and then
either agree or disagree.
• Probing: You ask questions from
your own frame of reference.
• Advising: You give counsel, advice,
and solutions to problems.
• Interpreting: You analyze others'
motives and behaviors based on
your own experiences.

7 Habits Of Highly Effective People Dr Syed Sarwar


Habit 6: Synergize®

“The Habit of Creative


Cooperation”

"Synergy is not the same as


compromise. In a compromise, one plus
one equals one and a half at best.“

"Synergy is better than my way or your


way. It's our way."

Dr. Stephen R. Covey.

Maturity Continuum

The 7 habits provide an incremental, sequential, integrated approach to the development of


personal effectiveness moving us progressively from dependence (on others) to independence (take
care of ourselves) to interdependence (looking after others and combining strengths).

The Eighth Habit

• Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs


• Voice lies at the nexus of
• Talent (your natural gifts and strengths)
• Passion (those things that naturally energize, excite,
motivate and inspire you)
• Need (including what the world needs enough to pay you
for)
• Conscience (that still, small voice with that assures you of
what is right and that prompts you to do it).
