4. 7 Habits Of Highly Effective People
• The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People provides a holistic, integrated
approach towards personal and interpersonal effectiveness. Habits are
patterns of behavior that involve three overlapping components: knowledge,
desire, and skill. Because these three components are learned rather than
inherited, our habits are our second nature, not our first. Thus, we are not
our current habits. We can make or break our habits.
5. Habit 1
• Be Proactive:
Change starts from within, an highly effective people make the decision to
improve their lives through the things that they can influence rather than by
simply reacting to external forces
6. Habit 2

Develop a principle centered personal mission statement. Extend the mission
statement into long term goals based on personal principles.
7. Habit 3
Put first Thing First :
Habit 3 is the fulfillment, the actualization, the natural emergence of habits 1
and 2. Habits 1 and 2 are absolutely essential and prerequisite to habit 3. You
can’t become principle centered without first being aware of and developing of
your own proactive nature. You can’t become principle centered without first
being aware of your paradigms and understanding how to shift them and align
them with principles.
You can become principle centered by practicing effective self management.
8. Independent will
Habit 3 is the exercise of independent will towards becoming principle-
centered.
Power of independent will:
The degree to which we have developed our independent will is measured by
our principle integrity.
Integrity is the value we place on ourselves.
Effective management is putting first thing first.
9. Time management
Time management can be captured in single phrase:
“ organize and execute around priorities.”
Time management is an essential skill for personal management.
Personal management is the exercise of independent will to create a life
congurent with your values, goals and mission.

22. Delegation
Delegation is the assignment of any responsibility or authority to another
person ( normally from manager to subordinate ) to carry out specific
activities.
Delegation means growth, both for individuals and for organization.
Transferring responsibility to other skilled and trained people enables you to
give your energies to other high-leverage activities.
23. Delegate to time and to people
If we delegate to time, we think “ efficiency”
Many people refuse to delegate to other people because they feel it takes too
much time and effort and they could do the job better themselves.
If we delegate to other people, we think “ effectiveness”
Effectively delegating to others is perhaps the single most powerful high-
leverage activity.
24. Delegate to others
J.c Penney quoted:
The wisest decision he ever made was to “ let go” after realizing that he
couldn’t do it all by himself any longer. That decision enabled the
development and growth of stores and people.
Ability to delegate to others is the main difference between the role of
“manager” and “ independent producer”.
25. Role of producer
A producer does whatever is necessary to accomplish desired results, to get
the golden eggs.
A parent who washes the dishes.
An architect who draws up Blueprints
A seceratary who types correspondence is a producer.
26. Role of manager
Manager sets up and works with and through people and systems to produce
golden eggs.
A parent who delegates washing dishes to the child.
An architect who heads a team of other architect
A secretary who supervises other secretaries.
28. Types of delegation
There are basically two types of delegation.
gofer delegation
Stewardship delegation
29. Gofer delegation
You hand people specific tasks as need arises and are closely involved in
supervising how they do them.
The other person doesn’t utilize much independence judgment.
Responsibilities for results lies with you.
In this approach the other person doesn’t grow because this relationship
doesn’t require the other person to use their wisdom or judgment. They are
treated like a tool.
30. Stewardship delegation
Stewardship delegation has the aim of not just getting task done, but of
building others through accomplishment of tasks.
Allows the individual to determine their own methods.
The aim is accomplishment of the tasks and the good of other person.
