Dependence

Private Victory.
Here, Covey introduces the first three habits intended to take a person from dependence to independence, or one's ability to be self-reliant. You must be able to win your private victories before you can start on your public victories. If you start to win your public victories first, how can you feel good about yourself and still work on habits...

Public Victory.
Here, Covey introduces habits four through six which are intended to lead to interdependence, the ability to align one's needs and desires with those of other people and create effective relationships. Renewal:The final habit which directs the reader to begin a process of self-improvement.

Be Proactive
Principles of Personal Vision The word proactive means that we are responsible for our own lives. Our behavior is a function of our decisions, not our conditions. We can subordinate feelings to values. We have the initiative and the responsibility to make things happen. Highly proactive people recognize that responsibility. The do not blame circumstances, conditions, or social conditioning for their behavior. Their behavior is a product of their own conscious choice, based on values, rather than a product of their conditions, based on feelings.

Begin with the end in mind


Principles of Personal Leadership Begin today with the image, picture of the end of your life as your frame of reference of the criterion by which everything else is examined. Each part of your lifetodays behavior, tomorrows behavior, next weeks behavior, next months behaviorcan be examined in the context of the whole, of what really matters most to you. By keeping that end clearly in mind, you can make certain that whatever you do on any particular day does not break the criteria you have defined as supremely important. To begin with the end in mind means to start with a clear understanding of your destination. It means to know where youre going so that you better understand where you are now and so that the steps you take are always in the right direction.

Put First Things First


Principles of Personal Management Habit 1 says that you are the programmer. Habit 2 says to write the program. Habit 3 says to run the program. Living it is primarily a function of our independent will, our self-discipline, our integrity, and commitmentnot to short-term goals and schedules or to the impulse of the moment, but to the correct principles and our own deepest values, which give meaning and context to our goals, our schedules, and our lives. Organize and execute around priorities.

Think Win/Win
Principles of Interpersonal Leadership Win/Win is a frame of mind and heart that constantly seeks mutual benefit in all human interactions. Win/Win means that agreements or solutions are mutually beneficial, mutually satisfying. With a Win/Win solution all parties feel good about the decision and feel committed to the action plan. Win/Win is a belief in a Third Alternative. Its not your way or my way; its a better way. And if a solution cant be found to benefit both parties they agree to disagree agreeablyNo Deal. Anything less than Win/Win in and interdependent reality is a poor second best that will have impact in the long-term relationship.

Seek First to Understand, Then to Be Understood

Principles of Empathic Communication You see the world the way they see the world, you understand their paradigm, you understand how they feel. You arent just listening with your ears, but also with you eyes and your heart. Empathic listening is so powerful because it gives you accurate data to work with. When you present your own ideas be clear, specific, visual, and most important, contextual in the context of a deep understanding of the other persons paradigms and concerns.

You will significantly increase the credibility of your ideas. What youre presenting may even be different form what you had originally thought because in you effort to understand, you learned.

Synergize

Principles of Creative Cooperation Synergy is the essence of principle-centered leadership. The whole is greater than sum of its parts. It catalyzes, unifies, and unleashes the greatest power within people. Simply defined, it meant that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Without doubt, you have to leave the comfort zone of base camp and confront an entirely new and unknown wilderness. You become a guide, a pathfinder. You open new possibilities, new territories, new continents, so that others can follow. The essence of synergy is to value differencesto respect them, to build on strengths, to compensate for weaknesses.

Sharpen the Saw


Principles of Balanced Self-Renewal
Exercise, nutrition, stress management

Physical

Habit 7 is preserving and enhancing the greatest asset you haveyou. Its renewing the four dimensions of your naturephysical, spiritual, mental, and social/emotional. Express all 4 motivations. Exercise all four dimensions of our nature regularly and consistently in wise and balanced ways. This is the single most powerful investment we can ever make in lifethe investment in ourselves. We are the instruments of our own performance, we need to recognize the importance of taking time to regularly sharpen the saw in all four ways.
