The Only Thing You Need To Remember About The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People

Eric Jackson ,  

Cover of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Stephen Covey died in 2012.

He pioneered the business self-help genre with the 1989 publication of his mega-hit book “The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People.”
When I saw he died, I got a little panic-stricken because I couldn’t remember a single one of the seven habits.
That scared me because I used to love that little book.  I must have read it 4 or 5 times and tried to habitualize all of the skills.
I went to Wikipedia to look up the 7 habits which are here.
Then, I got a little disappointed.  Some of them weren’t as great as I remember….

Habit 6: Synergize – combie the strengths of people through positive teamwork, so as to achieve goals no one person could have done alone. Get the best perormance out of agroup of people through encouraging meaningful contribution and modeling inspirational and supportive leadership.

Managing your time

First of all some question:


 What is important and urgent to do it?- DO it immediately -
How do you rank?
What does the high priority have?

What is important, but not urgent? - Delegate!
How and to whom do you delegate?

What is not important, but urgent?- Priorize! Use the Pareto rule!

What is not important and not urgent? - Timewasters - throw them away!

Moving up

Laura Stack — №15 with Mårten Mickos The modern business environment demands exceptional leadership. When you reach the C-Suite level, the requirements become especially acute: You often have to juggle multiple large projects, while balancing competing stakeholder demands. This requires a high level of intelligence, energy, and discipline.
Clearly, you’ll need time management techniques superior to the everyday methods you mastered before your promotion. If you can develop them, you’ll maintain solid control over your own destiny; otherwise, you’ll find yourself swept aside as further success eludes you. Let’s look at ways you can avoid that fate.

1. Don’t overdo it

It bears repeating something you already know: Working longer hours isn’t always the answer. You wouldn’t have your current position if you weren’t dedicated to the organization, so don’t try to outwork everyone in the office now. Get a handle on the strategic priorities in your organization and focus your efforts on those.
Working too many hours is counterproductive. Studies reveal that a 60-hour workweek results, on average, in a 25% decrease in productivity. That’s because long hours lead to physical and mental fatigue, which results in slower work, more mistakes, and wasted time. The productivity numbers just get worse as the workweek lengthens. To add injury to insult, overwork may also lead to ill health: not only can you find yourself on a descending spiral of depression, those who work 11+ hours a day suffer two-thirds more heart attacks and strokes than their less-stressed colleagues.
Most salaried professionals find it difficult to complete their work in just 40 hours nowadays, but you will find it easier to manage your time if you feel well. So exercise regularly, eat right, get enough sleep, take breaks, and give yourself time off to recharge. Remember, life consists of more than work. Enjoy yourself and your loved ones while you can.
