5 Habit of highly effective people

 

    The Five habits of highly effective people 

 

 

Habit 1: “Be Proactive”

 

Highly effective people take the initiative. They are proactive. They do not impose

They limits on themselves that prevent them from  acting. They may not be able to control their circumstances but they can decide whether to use those circumstances or be abused by them. They live by the “principles of personal vision.”

Habit 2: “Set Goals”

 

They think carefully about their goals. Many  people spend a lifetime pursuing a goal that proves meaningless, unsatisfying, or destructive. Effectiveness is not just a matter of reaching a goal but rather of achieving the right goal. Examine yourself. See yourself as you really are. Are you self­centered? A workaholic? Money­grubbing? Decide what you need to change and what you want to become. 

Write the statement. Make a commitment to yourself. 

Keep that commitment.

 

Habit 3: “Put First Things First”

 

 

They have the power to change who they are, but  that means changing how they act. They Never let their most important priorities fall victim to the least important. Many people spend their time reacting to urgent circumstances and emergencies, and never invest the necessary effort  to develop the ability to overcome emergency. 

Habit 4: “Think Win/Win”

Highly effective people strive for win/win transactions, which make it profitable for everyone.

Strong people lift others by helping them. They think about the mutual benefit of everyone involved as a team. 

 

.Habit 5: “Sharpen the Axe”

Abraham Lincoln said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” Put time on your to sharpen your axe.  They  get themselves indulge in continuous improvement or education programs to keep thier axe sharp.
