SEVEN (7) HABITS OF HIGHLY EFFECTIVE PEOPLE
by Stephen Covey (2007)
1. Be proactive.
-Proactive means being able to take responsibility for your life.
You have
the freedom to choose your behavior and response to stimuli.
2. Begin with the end in mind.
-Know where you want to go. When making plans and
decisions, see to it that the time and effort that will be spent
conform to what you want to achieve.
3. Put first things first.
-Practice self-management. Know your priorities.
4. Think win-win.
-Look at life as a cooperative arena, not a competitive one.
5. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.
-As the saying goes, “the best way to understand is to listen”.
The practice of empathy governs this habit. It is about putting
yourself in someone else’s shoes.
6. Synergize.
The whole is greater than the sum of its parts. More tasks can
be done if all things within reach are maximized and utilized.
7. Sharpen the saw.
When you have learned a couple of years back will have
become outdated. Many things evolve and develop so fast that
you need to update through various food-for-the brain
resources.
TEAMWORK
-It is the process of working collaboratively with a group of
people in order to achieve a goal.
TIME MANAGEMENT
It is the art of arranging, organizing, scheduling and budgeting
one’s time for the purpose of generating more effective work
and productivity.
4 D’s of TIME MANAGEMENT
DECISION-MAKING
-Is a process that involves selecting the most logical choice
from among two or more options.
INVOLVEMENT IN DECISION-MAKING
 Consensus or agreement involves compromising various
possibilities after all opinions have been heard. Disagreements
and minority viewpoints are discussed fully.
 Majority voting is considered the most effective way to
make a decision. However, one may lose the interest or
loyalty of the members of the minority who voted against
the decision especially if they feel their side was not
heard.
 Minority is not consciously organized but a few powerful
personalities dominate the group, often unconsciously.
 Silent consensus of some groups leads to unanimous
decisions. This type of involvement in decision-making is
rarely applied when tackling important issues. Unanimous
agreement is sometimes assumed when some members
do not want to disagree and have chosen to stay silent.
 Clique is a small group whose members plan beforehand
to get their way in decision-making because they are
better organizing than those who disagree, they are often
successful in getting/having their own way in resolving an
immediate issue, but they bring a spirit of rivalry rather
than cooperation to the group.
 Handclasp happens when one person makes a suggestion
and another commends it without further discussion, the
matter is decided.
 One-person decision is quickly made but later when the
decider needs free or voluntary support from others to
implement the decision, he/she might find trouble getting
it.
Community work is performed by someone or a group of
people like the NSTP students for the benefit of the public or
