Leadership, management and the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

 

We've all heard that saying before, but what does it have to do with leadership and management? And more specifically, what does it have to do with the The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People?

Habits 1, 2 & 3 are the internal habits...the habits of proactivity, leadership and management of yourself; while habits 4, 5 & 6 are the habits of relating to others. Habit 7 is the habit of renewal. Let's take another look at the first three of the 7 habits.

Habit 1 - Be Proactive is a habit of leadership and it means that you have the power to choose whether you want to go

Habit 2 - Begin with the End in Mind is also a habit of leadership and it means that you want to know where you're going before you start. A journey of a thousand miles doesn't do you any good if you're facing the wrong way

Habit 3 - First Things First is the habit of management...to prioritize what you have to do and then to do it!

So, figure out where you want to go (face the right direction) and go (take the first step plus the additional 1,999,999 steps that you'll need to take to get you there).
