7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Recently, I had the privileged opportunity of attending the two day Signature program of the 7 Habits of highly effective people. I should say that it was quite an
eye-opener of sorts. It helped me to introspect myself as what i am in different roles that i play on a daily basis, personally and professionally. The faculty
did a fantastic job of extracting and explaining the crux of the framework that stephen covey has formulated. It would have been quite an effort for me to read
the voluminous book which is heavy too. The program consisted of a series of lecture sessions followed by screening of many videos in which Mr. Covey explains each of the 7 habits and the advantage of learning and practising them. In a nut shell, the following are the habits which Mr. Covey claims will change your life.

1. You need the right mindset to succeed in anything (Be Proactive)
2. Begin with the end in mind
3. Put first things first ( Classify things in to 4 quadrants - Urgent (X) & Important (Y))
4. Think Win-Win
5. Seek First to Understand(Others) and then to be Understood (by Others)
6. Synergize
7. Sharpen your Saw

The program is followed up with a series of emails from the institute to deep root the 2 day learning. This is a worthy investment for corporates to train their leaders in. This would definitely help individuals to understand better the dynamics of success & relationships and would help them to handle people & tasks better, bothpersonally & professionally.
