III. DEVELOPING GOOD HABIT FOR
EFFECTIVENESS
 Our character is composite of our habits.
Habits are powerful factors in our lives.
They are consistent, often unconscious
patterns. They constantly, daily express
our character and influence our
effectiveness or ineffectiveness
1.Being Proactive
Proactivity means taking initiative. As a
human being, we are responsible for our
own life. Our behavior is a function of
our decisions, not our condition. Highly
proactive people responsibility.
“Response-ability” means the ability to
choose your response. In making such a
choice, we become reactive.
2. Begin with the End Mind
“Begin to the end mind” is to be gin with
the image, picture, or paradigm of the end
of your life as your frame of reference or
the criterion by which everything else is
examined.
3. Putting First Things First
Effective management is putting first thing
first. While leadership decides what “first
things” are, it is management that put
them first, day-by-day, moment-by-
moment. Management is discipline
carrying it out.
4. Think Win/Win
The habit of effective interpersonal
leadership is think Win/Win. Win/Win is
not a technique; it is a total philosophy of
human interaction.
5.Seek First to Understand Than to be
Understood
“Seek first to understand” involves every
deep shift in paradigm. We typically seek
first to be understood. Most people do
not listen with the intent to understand;
they listen with the intent to reply.
6. Synergize
Synergize means that the whole is greater
than the sum of its parts. It means that
the relationship which the parts have to
each other is a part in and of itself.
7. Sharpen you “Saw” of Self-principles of
Balanced Self-Renewal
habit is taking time to sharpen the saw. It
is the habit that makes all the other
possible. It is preserving and enhancing
the greatest asset you have – you
reserving the four dimension of your
nature – physical, spiritual, mental, and
social/emotional.
 On the Maturity Continuum:
a.) Dependence is the paradigm of you – You
take care of me; you come through for me, you
didn’t come through. I blame you for the results.
b.) Independence is the paradigm of I – I can do
it; I am responsible; I am self-reliant; I can
choose.
c.) Interdependence is the paradigm of we – We
can do it; we can cooperate; we can combine
our talents.
